speedster hardtops

#1 Post by David Swanson »

Questions. How many different suppliers/manufacturers are there for hardtops for Pre-A and A Speedsters. Are they all of the same style. Is the fit the same for Pre-A and A. In other words would any particular top fit all Pre-A and A Speedsters.

Glaspar with the rear windows
Plasticon
Fiberplex

These seem to be the 3 main ones. Any one will fit, although there will be some tweaking and adjusting

Russ Rodriguez at Fibersteel makes a very nice hardtop for Speedsters. I believe he bought the rights to make the Glaspar hardtops. After 50 plus years and lots of neglect many of the original hardtops have warped and are no longer true.
