Title: Fiber glass boot for 1970 Coupe Deville
Post by: traveler4life on March 10, 2023, 03:38:05 PM
Good day group
Has anyone ever heard of some one creating/fabricating a parade boot for 1970 Coupe Deville Convertible?
They made from factory for Eldorado, but have wondered if I could get one made for the coupe.
Thoughts?

This is one of those things that "it sure would be nice to have." But the cost would possibly be outrageous and "non-authentic" as well. You have a lovely car, so enjoy her the way she is.

I have one on a 69 DeVille I bought last fall.  Rumor had that there was a firm in Florida that made them, and that they were available through dealers.  Per the grand son of the prior owner of may car, the one I have it "homemade"  Looks good on the car, but is heavy as heck. Seems to have a plywood base, and is fiberglas coated. Its unlatched in the picture, and fits better than it appears to.

If anyone knows where/how to get that part, it would be John Abend. On Facebook "1965-1970 Cadillac Collective"

I haven't searched, but when you do search Deville Convertible,  not Coupe Deville Convertible.
That might help.
Good luck
