C1 Corvette Convertible Top

The C1 Corvette series was groundbreaking for its time. Small-block V8s and fuel injection options provided plenty of power for consumers, and the exterior style was worth getting excited about. C1 Corvettes were different from other vehicles of the 1950s and 1960s thanks to their chrome trims, signature grilles and frequent redesigns. These characteristics helped to put Chevy’s all-new brand on the map.

Each C1 release grew faster than the previous model year, and drivers had a convertible top to look forward to when it was time to hit the road. If you have a first-generation Corvette, Top Flight Automotive will help you keep the cabin in excellent shape with convertible top products. Repair your original C1 Corvette soft-top or replace your attachment for a comfortable drive.

What Are Corvette Convertible Tops?

All C1 Corvettes are convertible builds. Therefore, a convertible top is necessary to block water, dirt, wildlife and dust from entering the cabin. These accessories came with first-generation Corvettes at dealerships, but those sales occurred more than 65 years ago, depending on the age of your vehicle.

Preserve your beloved C1 using our attachments that install like originals without modifying your vehicle for your purchases to work. We have convertible tops available in colors identical to what left the Chevrolet factory from 1953 to 1962.

The Value of a C1 Corvette Soft-Top

Our collection of C1 Corvette convertible tops saves you from cabin disasters. Attach a replacement to prepare for sudden storms, long-term storage and everyday parking. Our convertible tops create a barrier between the cabin and the outside world. Rely on our products to prevent thieves or the forecast from interfering with your ride.

Finding a replacement soft-top for your C1 used to involve paying top dollar for a pre-owned original. Our professionals solve this problem by presenting you with affordable replicas for an authentic look.

C1 Corvette Convertible Soft-Top Frame Repair Kits

A convertible soft-top will only serve you well if all hardware pieces are intact. After opening and closing your soft-top assembly for years, washers, screws and bolts can loosen and fall out. Restore your convertible soft-top frame using one of our hardware kits from Sully’s Tops.

Our C1 convertible repair kits ensure your vehicle’s attachment stays in place when closed because each hardware piece matches up with factory mounting holes on your Corvette. Finally, you can change out convertible top hardware showing rust. Sully’s Tops packages hardware bundles for C1 releases of the 1950s and 1960s. Choose a repair kit that corresponds with Chevy’s production changes.

Replacement Seals for C1 Corvette Convertible Tops

It’s fun to ride with your convertible top open, but there are scenarios where you’ll want to keep the assembly shut. When the rain passes through, weatherstrip seals prevent moisture from coming inside. Top Flight Automotive’s C1 convertible top seal replacements are useful if your factory sealants crack, fade or peel away.

Consider our weatherstrip solutions from Corvette America made with ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) or latex reproduction materials. Weatherstripping upgrades also work to silence the cabin and reduce rattling sounds from your vehicle’s soft-top.

1953-1962 C1 Convertible Top Replacement Latches

C1 convertible soft-tops stay in place thanks to a series of latches. These chrome pieces help you operate your vehicle safely without canvas materials moving on their own. Replace both the front- and back-end latches on your 1953-1962 Corvette with original-style products from Top Flight Automotive. We carry latches that Auto Accessories of America designed solely for first-generation vehicles. When you shop with Top Flight Automotive, you receive purpose-built parts that ensure a proper fit.

It doesn’t matter if your original latches break or you want reinforced hardware for security. Top Flight Automotive has you covered with convertible top latches that install near your C1 windshield and rear deck lid. Latch products from Auto Accessories of America have a chrome finish for restoration results to please any muscle car enthusiast.
