Nancy, I believe the F was purchased in the early 2000's by Al Wallace of Rhode Island. His was black and it did have a black top. Al passed away in late 2006 as I recall. I do know that the car was purchased in January the next year by a dealer. From there I've lost track of it, save for a for sale sighting of Al's F at Hershey or Carlisle shortly thereafter. It was a pretty decent car and Al said it had the black top when Burt owned it. I don't know if the VIN ever went past Gil.

Chic and I bought a black D convertible from someone in Mass very near the New Hampshire border in maybe the early eighties. The car was special ordered with a red interior. I think it did come from New England as it was very rusty underneath. I think the car is one of a kind with that red interior so if this person's father's car had a red interior then that is the car. On the black F convert. I think Burt Tyler had one that had passed through my late husband Chic's hands and may have been a local car in New England. At least that is what I think Chic told me. A lot of interesting automotive history was lost with the loss of Chic. Anyway does anyone know the history of Burt Tyler's black F convert if so it might shed some light on whether it was the one that belonged to this person's dad. Like there are just not that many of these cars.
