The Boston Top, an Aluminum Hardtop

UPDATE: Mystery solved. I found a couple brochures about this top. They were published in a 1947ish Willys Overland Equipment Book (thanks to Jon for letting me scan that particular folder). The suicide doors were original to this top. Examples of The Boston Top below:

he first two photos show Spencer Landers' top on two different jeeps.

Close up of the corners.

These photos show more examples of the top:

I would also be interested in any information. The Jeep with the green barn in the background is mine. I am also interested in knowing more about how the door latches are setup. They never really have lined up for me.

Hi Justin, I've found and published a brochure that identifies this as The Boston Top, built by the Willys New England Company. Check out the updated post. - Dave
