I am missing the Booth for my 1955 Caribbean. Does anyone have any lead where to get a Boot for a 1955 Caribbean or does it have to be custom made?
thanks in advance for any information and help

Have a boot custom-made from a good original. Even if you were lucky enough to find an original, it would likely have shrunken. And keep two things in mind:

? A 1955 Caribbean boot is different from a 1956 boot. Don't try to use a 1956 boot as a pattern.

? Most original boots have shrunken over the years, so have your trimmer add just a bit to the new boot to allow for shrinkage and then double-check prior to adding the final snap-caps.
