Carson top is a one-piece, padded, upholstered, removable top. The design was invented by Bob Houser in 1935 when he worked for Amos Carson at Carson Top Shop in Los Angeles , USA. The first carson top was probably made for a Ford Model A convertible and nowadays it is mostly used on hot rods and customs.[1]
