Funky Vinyl Top

[d1970]

This is for sale in Ontario Canada on KIJIJI. I remember these type of vinyl tops from the Seventies. There was a young guy fours down from are house and he had Dodge with one. His car pissed off the neighbors cause they said it was to loud. I still remember the rumbling sound it made when he would come home at 2 in the morning.

they make repop stuff that's a lot better than the NOS vinyl that has shrunk and lost essential oils to keep it supple and soft. SMS even has some NOS Mod-top and paisley stuff that has been properly stored and it only cost $100 per yard.

Is it true the reason chrysler pushed the vinyl roof was because it was easier/cheaper to slap a vinyl roof on the darts than do the bodywork over the roof seam? Several guys have told me that.

I wouldn't think so. Especially when you get into the half tops like those on the Gold Duster. The seams are still leaded and the extra trim would be an added cost. Even under full roofs, the seams are leaded and shaped.

I've restored some Fords that had vinyl roofs. There was a lot of extra body work under the skin to make it right. One of them, I remember, had hammer marks just above the windshield and extra lead in that area to contour the roof for the vinyl. I don't see how that could be cheaper.

I worked at the local small town Plymouth dealer from 1969 to 1972. One of my favorite tops was the brown paisley on the Gran Fury.
