Like 90% of everyone else who has, is, or will build one of these cars, I need one. 
Supposedly 54-56 Cadillac and also the senior Buick will work as well.

I'm willing to buy the entire top frame as well even though I don't need everything.

If someone has a decent one they're willing to sell, I'll be eternally grateful.

Thanks,

Ernie

That was a black hole.  Matter of fact, there seems to be absolutely nothing out there at all.   
Dang, this might be hard.  I guess I can carve one from a block of oak..

That's actually not a bad idea.

That jump from 1954-1955 to 1956 always makes me nervous....the cars look the same
but the 56 has more in common with a 1957

Before you pull the trigger on either of these, get measurements....

54-56 are the same top frames.  The one Mike provide the link to I saw as well, but the header is already removed.
