Hardtop Maker?

[Steve_69]

I found this on market place close to home. This would be for my 68. I am not familiar with the different hardtops. Any thoughts on maker of this top or concerns? Post says front latches are good, but needs new rubber.
Thanks in advance! = Steve

Make sure it has 3 hold down latches points for the windshield and it should work. Early cars with the low windshield only have 2.

Thanks David! That is obviously a key thing that I would not have known.

Check carefully, the "ears" on the sides have a flare to them that I have not seen before.
I believe this is made by Dyna-Plastics in El Monte, CA. (has the look of it, and there is a place at lower right of the "ear" for their oval shaped logo plate) Their logo has a Horse Drawn carriage. Let me try to find a pic.

Fergus, You were correct, a Dynaplastics top. It is in pretty good shape with no cracks. Unfortunately, it is a low windshield top. It is in Seymour, TN and listed on FB Marketplace if anyone is interested. It could use a good cleaning, the latches removed and cleaned, the molding around the rear window has shrunk some, but the window is fair. At least it was a fun trip to check it out!. It was acquired in an estate sale, so they knew little about it.

I could certainly be wrong (plenty of evidence there!) but I suspect this is not a roadster hardtop.
Definitely looks to be made by DynaPlastics, has all the look, but there is something about the "flare" as the top joggles out to meet with the window that speaks to another car.
Now the DynaPlastics black top is a high windshield top, but since the cockpit surround is the same early or late, the top will be different but the "flare" should be the same.... I think.
Opinions?
