Hello! <--- I'm new!

Welcome Jeff. And the Beat Goes On . . . .

 

[Mr C]

Glad to see a Paisley Top owner here at FCBO.

Welcome aboard!

Will: I thought Mod Tops and Paisley Tops were two different tops.
Or am I thinking of Gator Tops. Damn. Too many tops back then...
Crap. There were Tortoise Tops too...

Commando, you are correct...although over the years there has been a tendency in some circles to lump all Chrysler Corp unusual vinyl tops under the term "Mod top".

Mod tops were two different tops, Mod tops came in Blue or Yellow (pics below)...they were an A, B, E body thing.

Paisley tops were available on the 70/71 Gran Coupe Fury.

Tortoise tops were more universally available (ie. available on C bodies too and not just the smaller cars). They are often incorrectly referred to as gator grain.

Gator grain was a B. E body thing as I recall.

The ultimate of the "Mod Tops" is the 71 Imperial.

Mod top Imperial.
Boggles my mind....
Bet it was owned by Phil Spector.

Just wanted to add the "floral Top" Oye. My head hurts...

Most interesting fashion signs of the times; I would never have ordered one of these though.

I can't believe I forgot the green Mod Top...I'm getting old.

Mopar must have sold furniture in the 70's because I swear my grandmother had a kitchenette set with the yellow "Mod Top" vinyl.

 

[cm23uoc]

I wouldn't rule it completely out that a supplier for vinyl tops could also be in the kitchen market and use these designs.

This is becoming addictive..........

Looks like this would work on Julian's new Imp.

 

[commando1]

LOL. NOS material will bankrupt him.
And I'm sure it doesn't even exist.

 

[vdk2010]

I would! But I don't like the vinyl top look, especially these mod tops ;)
I prefer a clean, painted top.

 

[commando1]

I imagine they didn't sell very many, so lots of NOS material might still be kicking around.

 

[rexus31]

I bet SMS has a ton.

I would never have guessed any was left...it's not often you find unobtanium.

 

[commando1]

I was very surprised..........

Lengendary works with SMS. I'll bet that's where it is coming from. They told me they get the seat insert material for my car from SMS.
