Vinyl tops had their place in that era.
Ever hear of the Chrysler Mod Top option?
Best way to put it. '71 LTD, my first ride. Two doors, metallic green. C-6 trans, 2.71:1 rear end. 400M 260hp, 330 tq. Top end 130+.Vinyl tops had their place in that era.
Was fun back in the day working on land yachts like that using a bumper jack!This is what my 74 Grand Prix Landau roof looked like, roof was dark brown and the car was beige.
regret selling that car.

Florida was famous for dealer installed vinyl tops.
I used to clean the whitewalls with a Brillo or SOS steel wool pad. Worked like a charm!I had the vinyl top replaced on a '77 Pontiac my wife and I had in the late 80's & early 90's. The car was in decent shape, but the top was in tatters.
I sure don't miss cleaning vinyl tops or whitewall tires, a routine part of car care back in the day.
Same here! Worked well, still nice to have black walls now though.I used to clean the whitewalls with a Brillo or SOS steel wool pad. Worked like a charm!
