    Has anybody bought a top from M & T Manufacturing - Conv. Top Guys??

    I found this website in the US called Convertible Top Guys.
    http://www.convertibletopguys.com/

    They offer:

    A PACKAGE SPECIAL: TOP IN PINPOINT VINYL WITH GLASS REAR WINDOW, HOLD DOWN CABLES, TOP PADS, PAIR OF TACK STRIPS, ORIGINAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL (GM6875). SPECIFY COLOR CHOICE, AND CHOICE OF ZIPPER OR UNZIPPERED WINDOW, IN CHECKOUT MESSAGE BOX., 1968-72 BUICK GRANSPORT CONVERTIBLE TOP

    For $ 351.00

    And Well liner for $52.00

    I phoned them today and the lady there is going to send me some samples.
    My top is Covert.
    Which could be a light biege.
    I have the 1972 Buick showroom book.
    Which has a sample patch I can use to match colors with.

    I know TimR just finished his car.
    LOOKS AWESOME!!!:kodak:

    Re: M & T Manufacturing for tops?? Have samples.

    I received top samples today from M & T Manufacturing from South Kingstown, RI. (convertibletopguys.com)
    Has anyone bought a top from this company?

    Beige looks the closet to my 1972 Buick Book Code 5 - sandalwood.
    They have two choices.

    Beige top....black inside.
    or
    Beige top.... tan inside.

    I'm trying to put my baby back to its original self.
    If anybody can help with the proper top combination.
    Would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Bert

    On-line ordered a conv top motor (GM 71-76) 3 weeks ago. Only after the payment has been made, a follow-up mail said it was not in stock. Hate that: there should have been a notification on the ordering page it is out of stock; it's 2015 not 1960... never got an answer on the mail I sent back asking how long it would take before they ship it.... in the mean time can't do much on the Eldorado with a partly disassembled top..:af: :af:
