Restorer32 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Need pics of the top irons for a 1937 Super 8 Conv, especially the irons to the rear of the center bow. '37 12 would be the same. Trying to help out a fellow who is trying to reassemble his top. 120 tops are entirely different. Thanks in advance ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8096 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Which convertible? Convertible coupe, convertible victoria, or convertible sedan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Not to denigrate your car, assuming it is yours but some things do not look right. This is based on our many years of restoring and replicating Packard tops. The latch above the side window is particularly problematic. It is definitely from a '35. From there back it looks right. Thanks for the pics in any case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Pictures taken at an auction. Might have pictures of the 37 I had. Would have to digging for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Is your car a 1501 ? '35 and '36 are different than '37 I believe. I am intimately familiar with your top, having made several from scratch over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 These pics are of 2 different cars. The pics we need are of the back half of the top on your 3rd pic. Notice how the 2 cars have different latches above the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Would pictures of my 1938 Super Eight convertible coupe help at all? The side latches on the first pics threw me too… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Yes they would Dave. Even better if you could e-mail a pic or two to me so I can forward them to a fellow in Illinois who is trying to reassemble his top. E-mail is PennDutchRestore@aol.com. We appreciate the help.
