Thanks, Dick! I will check with the folks at ACME...and, no, my '66 is still the old clear vinly/plastic/? ...they apparently changed the next year to glass I believe.
Thanks again!

I agree, Convertible Top Services in San Gabriel (sometimes called San
Gabriel top service) is a very good vendor.   

I assume someone has tipped you off to buying your top directly from Acme,
rather than going through a re-seller?  If not, contact them at
kristina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, and tell her that Dick Benjamin at "Packard
Harbor" sent you - they've been my supplier since the early 70s - always the
right stuff, always fast, and always the best price you will find.  I don't
know if a 66 came with a glass rear window, but if so, they can supply that
also - they did mine for my 67, and it was exactly identical to the
original.  They also found me my NOS!!! headliner for my 67.

Subject: IML: Re - convertible tops

Hi all...I am still doing lots of checking into completely rebuilding the
motors/pumps/etc for the top on my '66 Imperial and have come across a place
here in California called CONVERTIBLE SERVICES, ( I think I have the name
right). Another IML member has used them for his convert and says thay are
great to work with and have ALL the parts I will need. Does anyone else have
any comments about these people? so far all I have seen are GOOD comments on
their parts and service! This is almost too good to be true! I also want to
thank those who emailked suggestions about where to get a top from and which
material to use! Thanks all!! I appreciate the info! (I can use all the help
I can get!)
Thanks all!
Dan melnik/1966 Convert. (Doris)
