  13. My Merc with a big back window Carson Top and still a 4 Dr - if you want it - make it happen.

  14. Not a Carson - such a nice Merc, you should recover your top in real carson style, that shouldn't be too expensive and will make your car stand out.

    Kevin's car is beautiful, but you must have missed that pic which is on the first page of this thread. So I guess it would be the most beautiful Caddy Again?

    Hey 3/8 X 3/8 Ardun, just curious why you re-posted the pic I scanned from my dad's photos that I posted on page 2 of this thread.

    Not knowing any better, for the longest time I always thought customs were a late 50s early 60s thing.
