I almost bought one like the red one with the 15x8's and white top, but saw a triple black 78 Magnum in the showroom, and said "baby I gotta have it".

Did it have trim holding down the material like a car, you would think it would have to. I would have to see it to believe it.

Quote: If you skip to 3:09 in the video it begins the top options, and states white, or black textured vinyl look alike. Not black or white textured paint... There fixed. I sold them since the beginning and I have never seen an actual fabric. We sold them colored and white or black textured. The finish was like the jeeps fiberglass top. If there were vinyl tops you would think someone could show one. I dont care what you thought you saw put up proof.

Well, the proof I put up is the Dodge promo video that states "...In stylish white textured VINYL, or in equally good looking black textured VINYL..." As I mentioned in my original post I had never seen one with a vinyl top. So if the textured VINYL top they are advertising isn't VINYL, they why are they stating it is?

I think its a poor wording of what was actually available. So where is a pic of that top?

They show a white and a black picture but that does not clearly show a vinyl top. Even the way the top is edged does not represent a true vinyl top. I remember the textured finish and it was a spray on. Maybe the material in the spray had vinyl attributes. Having been in a Dodge dealership for over 30 years I can tell you sales, service, and parts literature has been full of mis-information.

I partly agree on what you are saying. The correct wording should be simulated vinyl top. A true vinyl top was vinyl material glued to the metal roof.
