A question about the original 50 Ford convertible kit

[junkyardjeff]

Did the original kit have a top similar to the 51 Victoria,if so I am going to see if I can find one.  I would like to see if I can build me a 51.

Yes, it did but it's chopped.

Not what I was hoping for.

Some Resin Caster did copies of those tops many years ago, but I have no idea who it was.

It looks like I will be getting a 50 kit for the hopped up flathead parts for a 60s 49 build and would like to build a 51 hard top but I could make a chopped top custom hard top.

That would be Modelhaus: They offered both the Carson top and Chopped Vicky roof section.

Perhaps the (stock) roof from Lindbergs 1953 Ford Coupé can be used as base for a conversion?

Recent issues of the '50 have the rear glass for that top, but the top itself was only in the first issue.
