The convertible top came from Electron Top, http://www.electrontop.com/
The quality of the material, fit and finish are great.

Fred,

Beautiful car. I'm restoring one that was the same combination. Electron didn't have the dark green in the original vinyl pin point material. Did you use the the Haartz canvas type material?

When I get a chance to organize my pics of my car I will post a few.

An Eldorado and convertible and sunshine......Enjoy it.

Absolutely stunning. Your car has to be one of the prettiest color combinations I've ever seen. Congratulations on a job very well done!

Thanks for the compliments! BTW, the top material is canvas (not sure if I responded to the earlier post question?). I'm looking forward to the Spring weather so I can get this car out on the road.

Hope that it has been warm enough to get your Eldo out on the road.  I have been getting mine ready from winter storage and enjoyed driving it around today.  One question - did you get your replacement leather from SMS in Oregon?

Yes, the leather and vinyl came from SMS in Oregon. I am very pleased with the quality. The pattern, texture, and color are 99% of what the original materials looked like. Looks like Spring is finally here. Time to get the cars out of the garage!
Best,
Fred

Did the trim shop also recover the interior door panels? If so what is the name and number of that company?
