Does any one know of someone that has a boot for the 31 or 32 Cabriolet. I'd like to be able the cover the top when it's folded down. Not sure where the fasteners go.
Thanks

I just had one made and they designed it so two straps flow under the top from rear to front then snap on the front side. They also made a flap attached to the top front that tucks under the bottom front. I'm not sure if it is "original correct" but it works great.

Do you have any photos you could send me? I'd like to share them with my Upholster. This is, at least be one solution to the problem.
Does anyone know if this is how the boots were originally installed?

I've stored it for winter but let me try to put the boot on and get some pics for you. I can also give you the name and number of the upholster guy I used and he could likely make one using mine as a pattern.

I'm going to try and duplicate the 32' Oldsmobile DCR boot cover which is essentially the same as a 32' Chevrolet Cabriolet. Does anyone have an original Chevrolet cover or a true duplicate of a Cabriolet boot? I would assume the Olds and Chevy are virtually the same. I do have original factory photos, but no detailed close up ones.

Could you try sending the photos again. They didn't go through. Did your upholster use any cardboard to stiffen the boot.
Thanks

I just sent you the pictures again in three emails so the attachments were smaller. Let me know if you get them.

The photos still didn't go through. Letters should all be lower case.
Call me or send me your e-mail and I'll send a test through.

This is for sale on Ebay right now. First time I've ever seen a cabriolet with a boot cover. Were they a factory item, option, or aftermarket addition? ![[Linked Image from i150.photobucket.com]](http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s84/brewsterg6/1932%20Chevrolet%20Roadster/s-l1600.jpg)

The 32' Olds DCR had a factory cover available. I was trying to post a picture but couldn't. A factory photo can be seen here.

The one pictured on eBay looks the same except it is missing the flap over the top of the top brace.
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
