I've mentioned this a couple times, but have never seen any kind of advertising or literature on marketing or the process.
I remember looking at cars with my Dad around 1968, when vinyl tops were often seen on new cars. One dealer had a '68 Sport Satellite that caught his eye. It was a nice car, green with a black top. The owner of the Chrysler/Plymouth dealer was a friend of my uncle so we dealt with him directly rather than a salesman.
He said "If you see anything else, we can put one of these tops on it". It was sprayed on with the vinyl "seams" glued on to make it look even more like a real vinyl top. I thought it looked kind of flat and while to the uneducated eye, it looked like a vinyl top, to me, a wise *** 14 year old, I could spot it across the lot.
He ended up buying a '68 300 at another dealership.
But back to the spray on tops.
All this time, I figured it was some aftermarket deal. Never saw too much of it at other places, although I did spot a car or two with it.
Today, on the book of faces, this popped up. Looks like it was a Chrysler dealer install!
