    I have a 1921 Studebaker and 1926 Touring car - each needs a new top. Anyone know a reputable maker of these?

    I’d bet my lunch that nobody makes a kit for those. You will need to find a talented local upholsterer.

    Most top kits are limited to common makes and models, and still require substantial modifications to fit well. The upholstery fellas I know prefer to start from scratch, claim it’s the same price. Best to find a relatively local upholsterer that is familiar with antiques, don’t want to have to pay a fella extra $$ to learn how to make a top

    Are you a member of the Antique Studebaker Club? Ads are free, but it's a bi-monthly mag, although phoning isn't hard. :) . There's a lot of guys in your neck of the woods, that might be able to offer a reco.
