Re: Ted's 1956 Clipper Restoration

There was a '55 or '56 400 on ebay a couple of years ago that was a converted convertible, it looked really nice and professionally done. You sure would have something different in a Clipper convertible, that's for sure. Look for pre-'64 convertibles for the top mechanism, as the windows go straight up on most cars, and on the later ones, they curve in towards the top, which means you'd have to try and straighten the top, which is a PITA. If you have any questions, I've done quite a lot of research on HT to convertible conversions, and can try and help you, if you go that route.
