I want to replace the Factory Tonneau Cover on my 57, however instead of the usual vinyl cover I would prefer to install
one made with canvas. I recently changed the convertible top to Black canvas and it is a lot nicer than the vinyl.
Does anyone know where I can order this?

Re: Tonneau cover for 57 Thunderbird
Hi, For one thing your question is in the wrong place on this forum site. Anyway. I really don't know the answer to your question. I would first contact the suppliers to see if they have an option for canvas material tonneau covers. If the answer from them is "No" then I would go to a boat / sail shop to see if I could get one custom made there. They often make canvas sails, bimini tops and covers for boats.... and available in just about any color you want.

PLEASE invest a few bucks and buy all the shop manuals for your car. Definitely will save you much time and be an education.

Having the original tonneau cover would make it easy for any automotive or boat appolsty shop make one out of what ever type material you want.

If you want to match the top material, go to a regular auto upholstery shop and they should be able to get a matching material and make a cover using your old one as a sample
