Any chance of finding a hard boot (parade boot) for a '60 Eldorado Biarritz? Most any condition would be acceptable.
What has been the experience with various soft tops for this car? The car deserves a better one (not vinyl)...probably Stayfast material...or ????
Thanks Whit
Whit,
Anthony in North Jersey has a few reproduction boots left including the latches.
His recent listing says he has 3 left and he already told me he is not making any more. Anthony is an honest guy, nice guy, and an expert on these cars. Here is the listing:

I have a contact in Sweden who can make the leather parts and does a perfect reproduction.
Anthony will not be making any more of the repro's and you could use one until you luck info finding a real one. Last one I saw sold on ebay for $2500.00 in nice shape.
I make the storage bags for the boots in high quality 3 pc sets:

Originals are scarce but do pop up sometimes.

Thanks Brian...I bid on one from your reference. If I get it, I'll be back to you for storage bags.

Keep in mind he does not take Paypal.
You could call the phone number in his listing and buy one at $1250.00
He is reputable and you can trust him if you send him a check.
