Differences between 54-58 and 59-60 hard boots

[kkarrer]

Members,
    Does anyone know if there are differences between the hard convertible boots between the 57-58 and 59-60 cars?  Or are does anyone have access to the width (front to back) of the center panel of the 59-60 cover?
Thanks,
Ken Karrer

They are totally different. Different bodies, different hard boots...54-56 is one type, then 57 - 58 and, finally, 59 - 60.

Roger,
     Thanks for the reply. I see some of the 57-58 and 59-60 hard shell boots for sale and they look very similar. I think there's just a difference in the length of about 2" (longer for 59-60) as they have to cover the chrome piece behind the back seat.

They are not interchangeable except for the years Roger stated.
I have had all three styles. I have original 57/58 and 59/60 presently.

Quentin,
    Good to hear from you.  Can you please give me the front to back dimensions. Side to side seems to be the same.  I'm sure that mine is for 57-58.  I think I'll have to either sell it or modify its length.  Will you be at Grand Nationals this year?
Thanks,
