I am about to restore my top and I can't figure out what type of

material was used.Sometime ago,the top must have started to leak and

a tar based sealant was applied w/a brush(it looks terrible!).They

painted over the duct tape they covered the holes with!!

The top looks like it was a black canvas? HELP!!!





On some cars leather was used, but most Hudsons used standard top material. There are at least two styles, large and small grain. I don't know which Hudson would have used. Any vintage Ford place should be able to supply this material or a specialist place like LeBarron Bonney should have it. Try Hemmings Motor News for more specific info.
