American TTop Brochure

[Burd]

I’ve never seen this brochure, these tops went in more than Pontiacs and chevys, also called the Texas T Top
Pic happens to be a Camaro.

Those don't look too bad. I had Hurst Hatches on two cars back in the day, a 1976 Rally Sport Camaro and a 1978 Trans Am. I don't remember seeing too many cars with the Hurst Hatches back then, so no idea how I ended up owning two F bodies in a row and both of them having them. But, they both leaked like sieves in the rain and made the floors start to rot pretty early in their lives, unfortunately.

Early 78 they phased out the hurst Tops, I had a buddy with a Camaro w/ C&C tops. They were even bigger bigger t tops.
I’ve never see a bag with these tops, wonder if they had one.

I had a 76 Cutlas Broughm with T-Tops. Right after I bought the car they were replaced by GM.

In ‘79 I “purchased” a ‘75 Hurst Cutlass W-30. It was the owner of the dealerships car he rarely drove, but it had hatch leaks. He insisted he’d fix it before I could take it. Being in Vermont the closest install center was in Canada. Little over a week later I got a call the driver bringing the car back hit a deer, car totaled…. I’m sure it would have still leaked.. Nicest car I never owned……

I think they all leak, my buddy’s ta w/C&C tops rattled super bad. But when you have the tops off it’s great.
Dan said the Camaro came with fisher bags, maybe American didn’t make their own bags.
I have a magazine add from 1977 on the American tops, I’ll dig it out.
What is the shifter in the Camaro, B&M. Dont think I’ve ever seen one.

That shifter looks like a B&M Quicksilver.

Ahh ok.
