 this was another way the after market came to the rescue with a cheaper look alike ??  vinly roof. Quite often applied by the used car dealer

My 66 Nova SS was a factory two tone car but someone had "stipled" the roof on it!

When vinyl roof covers were a new thing on the market in the early 1960s, the aftermarket offered a spray on lookalike. Dealers were happy to do it.

Ford offered a black wrinkle 2-toned roof on the pickups in the late 1960s into the early 1970s that mimicked the vinyl top look. I remember seeing them new but haven't seen one in decades.

Back in 1967 when I had my 67 Beaumont 327 4 sp bench seat car, that is when the product came out

Our Body Man wanted to do one so seeing as my car was in the body shop we painted an imitation
vinyl roof on it, there were many colors available and we painted it a light blue and being a custom
we also painted it the same color in between the two moldings, was kind of cool, the only one like it.

My only regret is I don't have a picture of it.

Roger ask Ray he might remember.

Hi Gerry my first 67 looked just like the one in your picture when  when my father gave it to me and said if you pay to fix it you can have it i had a body shop teacher help me skin the rear quarters and painted it red put the vinyl top over the stuko and had chrome reverse wheels with white letter tires. the trunk rusted out the summer i got married and i sold it .the kids dad got it fixed for 200. and i still regret selling it today. iam fortunate to have a hand painted picture of it done by a very well known canadian  artist(Clause verboone) that delt with my dad and needed some work done so we did a trade  its a cool reminder .
