Who made the convertible tops for LeBaron Bonney ?

[95476]

I am trying to find out who made the convertible tops for Lebaron Bonney.
I have tried 2 different vendors for a top for my '33 roadster and neither was correct.
Thank you

I offered my LB '33 top a while back on the HAMB.
I'm open to fair offers now. PM me.

What led you to believe that LeBaron Bonney outsourced any part of their upholstery and top fabrication business?

I spoke with one of their suppliers at some point and he said that they farmed out various aspects of top building. This was not long before they closed their doors. I can't remember who it was that told me now.

They had finished two complete interior and top kits for me shortly before closing up.
I had a rather good relationship with the owner and was lucky to get them.
Even at that late date, all work was being done in house.

Wise decision 95476, don't let it get away.

Lee Atherton was good friends with a Regional Group member in our Seattle group and when he would visit he came to our RG meetings and spoke about various parts of the business.

I was able to purchase it.
Nothing beats a L/B top.
I ordered several from vendors and none even came close and had to return them.
