Looks like a '65 Satellite, shows up on my monitor like D, the light blue metallic.
FT says K, light turquoise metallic; can't quite make out interior code, is that B, like blue ?
I'm going by memory on those codes, correct me if I'm wrong.
But to answer the question, looks like glue residue on roof.
VT could have been added, not sure of they were called out on FT in that period, that was early days for VT.

Yes 65 Satellite, color outside is wrong, yes it's a KK1 light turquoise metallic, TRM=P4Q. Yes there is glue up top. So did Vinyl and non Vinyl have the same roof trim? I am wondering if the factory offered a Vinyl top? Non of the big makers seem to sell a replacement? There is only one offering a vinyl top and it has no padding underneath?


thx Diego

All the '65 Satellites I've ever seen had the same roof moldings; the wide drip rail moldings were Satellite only.
Might be a color & trim guide and option info at hamtramck-historical.
I've seen one with VT but that was long ago and I don't know if it was factory or added later.
Another clue might be to see if there are different #s in a '65 parts book for satellite with or without VT.
No padding under VT until much later, like later '70s disco-era stuff.

Usually when it had a vinyl roof there was stuff left unfinished underneath them. Can't tell from the picture if it's glue residue or dirt like the rest of the car has.

If you pull the window trim off the front or back there could be some top material left behind if it is a vinyl top car.

Also, want to add if you do pull the trim off , look to see if there are any staples left in there. Chrysler used staples to fasten the edges of the vinyl top into those channel areas behind the trim.
