Nice model! Great paint. Job well done!

That style of top is called a "Carson Top" they became so popular and copied that they were known in generic terms by (I think) a shortened version of the shop's name who first made them. They were a fixed top which did no longer operated as a convertible top. Like most all great Custom Trends they originated in Southern California.

Steve every since I first saw your work in the pages of SAE I have loved your builds, it truly is an honored to view your work and drool over the beauty that comes from your bench, A friend and I were talking about your work one day and he said "Oh to be a fly on the wall of that work bench" I so agree with him
