According to the fender tag, this car came from the factory with the vinyl top.
The car was re-painted at some point but I don't think the trim was removed. You can see some over spray where the trim wasn't masked very well.
I guess it is possible that sometime in the past, the top had been replaced along with the studs being removed.
I appreciate the help. This explains why I can't find the screws and washers.
Thanks.
