Top for a Shay roadster

[Maclab58]

I have a friend with a Shay roadster that is missing the top. Will a stock A top fit it or are there other options for him ???
Thx!

Are the top bows there? Or are they gone as well

 

[Maclab58]

He has nothing.

I don't know, but here's a dedicated Shay forum where you may want to ask the question as well (or maybe search their archives to see if someone has already asked the same question)

Edit - perusing the Shay forum, it looks like Mac's sells tops specifically for Shays, in a variety of material/color choices (would still need to get the hardware, but this would be a start.

try the Shay Model A Roadster Forum, lots of good info there. they have a hardtop add on there right now.

I almost bought one before I bought my Sport Coupe. When I was in the US last year I visited the Volo Car Museum site and had a chance to look at them side by side for the first time.

Shay v Model A here

S.S,
I've read that they weren't allowed to use Fords' EXACT design drawings?? Considering that, the car came out fairly good. Have seen pics of adding Genuine wheels, headlights, etc, & made them look more Authentic.
Have also seen pics of some made into quite nice HOT RODS !

yea i agree, the HUGE bake drum 4 lug wheels and the taillights kill the shay...

They look good for what they are.

They look good for what they are.

At least, you can DRIVE them, unlike your MODELS on the shelf! AND, they drive quite WELL! And they're far SUPERIOR to a PEDDLE CAR!--- I ALMOST bought one about 10 years ago.

Shay's look a little more like an A than the Glasstique did. Am I saying that right? THAT car was a real ***** was nasty looking. I think they just made them in Phaeton style.

The point being to me about those cars was........... why The Daddy of Vintique parts maybe!!

Glassic's were made down here in Florida. They made roadsters as well.
