Yes, all 54s interchange, but 55-56 Ford glasstop inserts are shorter than 55 Sun Valley insert.

I was contacted by a friend who wants to buy a 54 roof insert from me. I have a few and they are all in the same shape. His was broken in a storm. He is coming over this afternoon to buy one and we never discussed a price. I don't have a clue what to ask for it? What's a fair price for a good used one? Thanks in advance!

Update - The top I got for my '54 Sun Valley from Pollard Plastics in Dallas fit very well. Very happy with it.

what was the company's names for the aftermarket glass roof?

From what I remember; The 54 Ford and 54 Merc, have a much different shape roof from the 55 and 56 Crown. They are much taller from the Windshield up.(fatter) I don't believe they will interchange. Maybe Dennis Carpenter can answer that question.

Hello,I'm new at the forum.
The 55/56 glass tops are Crown Victorias, that are shorter than the 1955 Mercury. So they do not interchange, but I believe a 1955 Mercury plexiglass roof could be cut to fit the Ford.

From Sweden, the country with glass tops.
There are approx. 40 real 1956 Crown Victoria Skyliner (64B) plus some 1955 here, plus a bunch of converted 64A's. Then there are at least 15 1955 Mercury Sun Valleys. Then there are of course a lot of 1954 Ford Skyliners and Mercury Sun Valleys.

1955 Mercury

1954 Ford and Mercury interchange, 55/56 Ford and Mercury interchange. 1954 is a stand alone year.

Hi Paul - I talked to the guys in Vancouver last year in June and they were making and selling repo plastic tops. The company name is Archer Plastics. Their email is wes@archer_plastics.com. I talked to Peter Brear at 604-253-7081. I ended up buying a top from Pollard Plastics in Dallas. The contact there was Gregg at 214-428-8500. I may call both of them back and question them again about interchangeability. I have a third source but I was never able to make a connection with them. What I have is Formtec Plastics, 1000 Industrial Drive, in Martinsville, IN 46151-8095. I couldn't find a phone number for them. Maybe this info will be of use to someone wanting to replace their cracked and crazed top.

The glass insert for the 54 Ford and Merc were the same.  Not sure about 55 or 56
