The Buick and Oldsmobile convertibles listed here take the same convertible top. this top will not fit the Oldsmobile fiesta.
the original material was Haartz stayfast canvas. The Haartz pinpoint vinyls, which are original to slightly later gm convertibles is also available.
the tops are offered either with a plastic rear window or with a blanked rear curtain section. The blanked rear is for owners who will be installing a reproduction or restored rear window frame. if you want a blanked rear curtain please specify in your checkout message.
the rear window section, whether it is made with a plastic rear window, or if, at your request is solid fabric (blanked) is made with a horseshoe zipper.
this is a classic two part top. The rear section and the main top are joined at the rear top bow. This top design is generic and is similar to the way American tops were designed and installed since the forties.
directions for installing a classic two part top are contained in an illustrated, step by step set of instructions in the generic manual listed below, under 'accessories.' this is not a manual for this particular top. The manual is intended for use in conjunction with careful notes taken during the removal of the old top. We cannot offer installation consulting.
Hydraulics:
We now stock hydraulic cylinders, motor-pumps, and hoses for your convertible tops. All are made to OEM specifications. Each can be ordered separately; however, when ordering hydraulic cylinders we recommend replacing both. The chances are that both hydraulic cylinders were manufactured at the same time: if one is on its way out the other may follow. If the top is raised and one hydraulic cylinder is working harder than the other the result over time can lead to a slightly bent convertible top frame. The replacement of both hydraulic cylinders will ensure that the top raises and lowers symmetrically.
Systems for this car take Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and have a 5 year warranty when used with this fluid. Brake fluid should not be used as it voids the warranty. We also offer an installation manual when ordered.
The 12 volt motor-pumps include a mounting bracket with rubber grommets to reduce vibration.
We also offer a rebuilding service for motor-pumps. Not all are repairable, but it is less expensive to have one rebuilt than to buy a new one. The motor-pump would need to be sent to us for evaluation. Hoses come with all new fittings and are made specifically to fit your car.
Parts in this category (Buick Special 46C) fit cars for years: 1951 and 1952.
We a now pleased to offer hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic motor pumps, and hydraulic hose sets for many different convertibles, they will be listed on your cars page if available.
