This is an original Carson top for a 1955 to 1957 Ford Thunderbird. This top was purchased by Robert Horton back in the day. Mr. Robert Horton is best known for his role in the television show "Wagon Train." Mr. Horton was a customer of the Carson Top Company at least twice, the first being a Jaguar. This Carson top was found in his garage in Encino, California last year after his death. He sold his 1957 Ford Thunderbird, an E bird at an Arizona auction in 2006. I believe Carson used parts of an original Thunderbird hardtop and convertible top to build this top. If you have any questions, please send me a post or email me at davidgrant58@icloud.com. Thank you.
