never heard of such a thing. I would think it would be pretty heavy.

 

never heard of it but would like to see pix if there was such a thing...

 

I worked as a parts man at a Buick dealership in '63. I don't remember any removeable hard tops. However I think they offered a hard cover (boot) for use when the top was down. Might be what you are thinking of.

 

Maybe it was a Carson top. I've never heard of that modern of car to have one but who knows.

 

There were some aftermarket suppliers making fibergl*** hardtops for various cars in that era. Not factory, but I'm sure you could get one through some dealers.
