The Buick Gets a Vinyl Top

While we were back home in Berwyn for Bobby and Julie's wedding on the 15th, Romy wanted to get a new vinyl roof put on the gold Buick. A few years ago, he got a completely new paint job, including body repair, and the vinyl roof was one of the last finishing touches to the exterior of the car. It was his grandma's car, and she bought it brand new in 1969 off the showroom floor and paid in cash. Romy took it to Ogden Top & Trim, a shop in Berwyn which specializes in doing custom upholstery and interiors of old cars. It turned out really nice! Not all the trim is on yet, because a few pieces are still missing (we suspect Scott must still have them somewhere, the guy who did the paint job). Here are some before and after pictures:
