Down.

Looks great either way Peter. I remember putting that top on when I restored it. those bows are all original and work well. I put the top down on the 30 std. roadster I have now and I'll leave it down till the end of October. Your car looks great .

A friend fitted his roadster top REAL tight & it was BEAUTIFUL!! BUT, he couldn't open the doors with the top UP!!! +&#@%$#@ Bill W.

Vermin, with the top "UP" Bill W.

Purdy Swoft · 09-15-2013, 04:58 PM

Looks great both ways. My vote is top up. The top looks real good and gives the original look. Beautiful settings also.

Ha ha... are you braggin' or complainin'?

Looks elegant either way, but if I were in Vermont, I'd leave it down so I could enjoy the be-utiful fall colors! Nice car! Hope you get to take some wonderful October drives!

Very nice. I'm working on a 28 roadster. Hope it turns out that good.

Lowbuckboz · 09-15-2013, 08:25 PM

Nice roadster man! I hear ya on the top up....top down!!

Steve Wastler · 09-15-2013, 08:53 PM

As Purdy, top up, could be I haven't had a top on my 29, for 32 years. A few years ago, I fitted irons and bows, but keep it down with the boot on.

Barry B./ Ma. · 09-16-2013, 07:11 AM

You're the man Steve! I agree with the top down. My 30 roadster top goes down in May and back up in November. It seems to drive so nice with it down, almost a different car and less mechanical noises.

Looks great both ways, like the blk tires and wheels really draws you eyes to the body!

JBill · 09-16-2013, 08:16 AM

Mine's a lot more fun to drive with the top down!

Looks sweet either way, but the Roadster does look sportier with the top down.

Brendan · 09-16-2013, 10:10 PM

off, I took my top off!

Skeezixx · 09-17-2013, 02:04 AM

Now I know what my car would look like if I ever put my top down:
