Bob-
Is the top for the tourabout?
It does not look like an original or standard early Ford top. The front bow where it fits the windshield looks like the 1915-1916 type. It is probably a 1950-1970 top with someone's idea for the back window.
Detailed pictures of the bows in the folded position will help identifying what year the bows are.

Bob: I agree with Keith's statement above. Some people that make tops fail to do the research needed to make one correctly.
