As far as I know the headliners, bows, and roof are all the same. Material may differ.

I don't see how the 55 chrome bows and the headliner differences for it would make any difference whether it was installed in a 55, 56, or 57. The basic roof/doghouse sheet metal should be the same. There is a small difference on 2 door sedans in that the 55 has garnish moldings on the rear window where 56-57 don't, but I think all the hardtops are the same there.

Just curious do the bows screw in the sides on a hardtop? My nomad bows do and the screws are at least an inch long sheet metal thread. If so I assume you will have to drill your 57?
