The Jay Leno bit was indeed a joke, the punchline being that I had never heard of him and thought he was just your average joe antique car collector. I'll make sure to avoid jokes moving forward. In all seriousness, thank you all again for your knowledge and kind attitude toward me and my old car top.

Dibarlaw - That makes a lot of sense. There is a large door on the second floor, but no stairs to it. Makes sense there would have been a hoist then to get the tops up and down from the second floor. Thanks for the additional info. I can't find any makers marks on it, but will try to get measurements on the door and posts.

Thanks for coming by today Jan, really nice to meet you. Anyone know how to get a hold of this Jay Leno fellow? And thanks to all of you for the information and thoughts, it'll be interesting to see where this things end up, if it ever leaves;)

Thanks for the addtional information, very helpful. I also posted this in the Horseless Carriage Club forum last night. I am going to get the flashlight out and see if I can find any makers marks on it today. If I can't find the right buyer, to John's point, it will just stay in it's long time 'home'.

Good evening all - It was suggested to me that I should post in this forum as well, just in case there would be some interest from someone who is not looking through the buy and sell forum. Here is the description and the link to the original topic below. Thanks for reading, appreciate your time. Antique car top. Was informed by someone much more knowledgable that it's commonly referred to as a California top. We found it on the second floor of our carriage house we recently restored. Guessing it's about 100 years old. Includes 4 doors with glass and two side windows, and the backing for the rear, all shown in the pictures. I think this could certainly be restored and used again, all things considered, it's in pretty good shape. There is an interior dome light if that helps, not sure how it would be powered. Measures 105" long x 57" wide x 31" tall. I have it listed at $1500 because that was a price suggested to me. I am open to offers and any information you could provide me. Please reply, call or text with questions. I am located in Northern KY, 5 minutes from Cincinnati. This would have to be picked up, it’s very large. Thanks for reading. Louis, 513-673-4472.
