Hi
The front of my 59 convertible boot is flat.The front  of  the boot looks like it slides into a slot behind the back seat.I do not have this on my car.What does this look like and where could someone find this?
Thank You

Brian,

If you have a rubber bulb sewn onto the front of your boot you may be able to use the same solution I used on my '57.  The link below shows a part called a "convertible boot slide rail" I purchased on eBay.  I painted it to match my interior and screwed it to the panel on the back of the seat.  You may have to bend it slightly if you want it to match the contour of your rear seat exactly.  Good luck.
