Convert5ible top for '57 Ford Sunliner

[Bigt57]

Am building a replica of the car I had in college, 1957 Ford Sunliner Convertible.  Am in need of a top for the car.  Have looked high and low and cannot find one that closely resembles one.  I know the '58 Ford and Edsel have the same midsection and I was hoping that there might be an aftermarket one available, any recommendations will be appreciated.  Thank you.

Modelhaus used to offer one for the ‘58 Ford, but of course they no longer exist, and if you did find one, I imagine it would follow along with everything else Modelhaus and cost you $40.00!!

Like you I also had a '57 Ford Convertible. I used the AMT '57 Ford Fairlane hardtop kit to make a model of it. I cut off the top. I used the Boot from a later model GTO, I think it was the AMT '65, and displayed it with the top down. I have never found anyone making an Up Top for that model. I might also be interested if someone knows of a current caster of an up top for the '57 Ford.
