    Reproduction Convertible Top Seals Initiative

    I wrote that, it's true. All Cutlass Supreme convertibles started as hardtops at the Doraville plant, sent to C&C for the conversion and then finished back at the Doraville plant.

    You`d be the guy to know for sure, do you recall hearing about a second company doing the conversions? Sitting here thinking about when you take the measurement off that 3rd bar, it also seems like I read they changed it a bit to improve the design. My memory dont work too good sometimes. Hell I may be thinking about the T-Top conversions on 3rd Gen Firebirds now, I`m getting my car stuff mixed up guys so dont pay too much attention to me.

    I do believe the 1990-91 tops are slightly different than the 1992-95 tops is what brought that up. But they were all, even the pace cars, were done at C&C.

    It was in an ancient thread here I read that there were two companies that did the conversion hence the two different size options when ordering a new top. I`ll try and dig it up and repost it when I have a chance as some of the best info was posted in threads approaching 20 years old and several updates since.

    Unfortunately I don't have any New Old Stock seals to share, I'm impressed that you were able to find any at all. I would like a new set of seals, as mine leaks in many places, but I'm worried they would be too expensive for me to buy if a company did reproduce them in a limited run. I've tried to add an additional seal on top of the existing seals in the places where they are leaking, but I haven't had much luck with that technique. I wonder if the original drawings for these seals exist in a drawer somewhere at GM or at the company that bought Cars and Concepts. I found this tidbit today on the internet, I wonder if there's any chance that this company has the Cutlass convertible drawings in a box somewhere in storage, doubtful though. ------------ Cars and Concepts, Inc., was sold to Masco Industries in 1992, and became known as MascoTech, Inc. MascoTech began buying up other companies in the automotive field as well as other industries and became an amalgamated company offering many products and services. The company changed its name to MSX International, of which it is known today. MSX recorded revenues of $1.4 billion USD and employs 14,000 people worldwide as of 2013. The company is based in Taylor, Michigan.
