Hi - I just finished reading an old issue of "Auto Restorer" (September 2000, Volume 12, Number 8) that had an article on the 1954 Mercury Sun Valley. I am about half way through the restoration process on one of these. Anyway, the article contained the following quote - "The Sun Valley does not share its green-tinted Plexiglas panel with any of the '54-56 Skyliners, or even the 1955 Sun Valley....". Last year, I bought a repro top from a manufacturer in Dallas Texas. I also talked to a manufacturer in Vancouver Canada. Both manufacturers told me that the tops were interchangable between the Sun Valley and the Skyliner. I haven't installed the top yet. That's still several months away. Have any of you Sun Valley or Skyliner owners replaced the top? Are the tops really different or is the magazine article wrong? I would be interested in knowing what your experience on top replacement has been. The article also said that the bumpers were unique to a Sun Valley but I am mostly concerned about the top. I have about $800 invested in the top and if it isn't going to fit, I will not be happy! Thanks!

When Injustice Becomes Law, Resistance Becomes Duty

I was contacted by a friend who wants to buy a 54 roof insert from me. I have a few and they are all in the same shape. His was broken in a storm. He is coming over this afternoon to buy one and we never discussed a price. I don't have a clue what to ask for it? What's a fair price for a good used one? Thanks in advance!
