charlie8575 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Nice, Jeff. Got a price yet? The maroon top many Hudson convertibles had was a very distinctive feature. Black and tan were also seen somewhat regularly. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooltoys1 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Would it be safe to say that the original top material was what we call a "Hartz" top? Almost like a suede type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill J Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I am interested in one or two. Please keep me posted when you are ready to sell the tops. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Would it be safe to say that the original top material was what we call a "Hartz" top? Almost like a suede type? Correct. Most American convertibles up until the early-mid 1950s used Haartz (with two "a"s) canvas. I believe the canvas top option on the present-production Chrysler 200 (in place of the vinyl) is also made by Haartz.

Bill J Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Anyone making a convertible top to fit the Moebius Hudson convertible? I would love to build mine with a nice top that sets off the color of the car. Please let me know how to grab one, if one is made. Thank you in advance.

Bowtienutz Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 or a Carson type top from a regular kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Jeff Ballard at Motor City Resin Casters was working on one if I recall, but I'm not sure on its status other than it isn't yet listed on his website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffb Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 i got it! thought we put it on the website, but we musta forgot to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 i got it! thought we put it on the website, but we musta forgot to. Vince, I have one of Jeff's Hudson up-tops for the Hudson convertible! What can I say about it except that it's one of the most perfect resin pieces I have ever seen (and I've seen lots of resin, even made a lot of resin parts). Be sure to catch up with Jeff at NNLE and snag that convertible up top--you will NOT be disappointed. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill J Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I second that! Jeff's up-top is perfect in every way. makes a great addition to the nifty Moebius Hudson convertible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Morgan Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Jeffs up top may be nice. However his bottom is questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
