    I've always loved these. The roof trim was done by ASC at Southfield, Michigan, half an hour's drive from Clark Street. I can't remember if the top is a vinyl material, or cloth, like Haartz cloth for convertibles?
    If they are vinyl there are two superb vinyl cleaners available. The first (hopefully still available) is a US product, PPG's UK403 cleaner and prep, it is used before re-colouring vinyl and is superb. The second is a straightforward domestic product from the British company AutoGlym, their Interior Shampoo, carpet, cloth, leather and vinyl, very good.
    If you use any cleaner on the roof you'd do well to put some vinyl treatment on it before re-assembly.

      Thanks for the great product tips, we alway love those. This is more of a canvas material, but not a shiny coated material like the convertible tops, mor like the canvas you would use to cover a boat during storage. I’m looking forward to trying the AutoGlym products.

    Have you seen a Coupe d'Marchand, or as it was known in the Chicago area, (I think) The Chicago Cadillac?

    Sir please help! i am HUGE fan, i have also a cadillac 79 but i need to find some replacement parts on the light tails, please help sir, I dont know where to search this kind of stuff, also I am from Costa Rica!

      Thank you for watching. eBay is a great place to look for those parts. Being in Costa Rica, you may need to have a USA resident buy them and ship them to you. Many USA residents vacation in Costa Rica, if eBay won’t ship to you, a vacationer from USA May be able to help you. Best of luck!
