Brad, I sent him several e-mails regarding that car, but never got a response. Maybe it has been sold already.

Beginning to look like I will be making the header bow, unless something turns up. ---John

John,

Are you planning a trip to South Dakota to pick up the Belvedere convertible listed on e-bay for parts? E-bay# 190159065541

It sure appears to have some parts you are looking for - even top bows!

Are you currently bidding on this item already?

Good Luck winning if you are actually bidding.

Curt in MD

Curt,
I am impressd that you are watching the auctions so closely! As for the Belvie cvt, I emailed the seller asking for more "top" photos, the assembly is not really visible in the photos..The nicer wogon looks good, I E-mailed the seller to inform him that is NOT Factory A/C

Roger - I have seen that particular under dash AC in 59's before and on ebay, I think those were dealer installed.
