Curt,
there were a number of different hardtops produced by aftermarket
companies for a '66. Unless someone one the list happens to recognize it
from your
description, your best bet would be to put some photos of it on a web site
and have list members look at it.
I have a Snugtop, and it is different from yours. How many windows does
yours have? There were some with 1 and some with 3 windows.
