Dealers installing vinyl roofs on 300C's - ignore Chrysler's requests tostop

I can't help it, I'm a child of the Seventies. If I ran General
Motors, I would command them to resurrect Oldsmobile and sell slightly
modernized versions of the 1976 and 1978 Ninety-Eights in parallel -
two great cars, go great together!. Every time I see a '79 Eldo
Biarritz with the stainless steel top, I get goosebumps. And I tried
to get the Euro-market velour interior in our last 330i.

When the 300C Coupe comes out it should have a vinyl top option.
I bet you a lot of people would take it up. There's ample precendent
to put a vinyl roof on a sporting full-sized coupe, the XJ6C and
XJ12C not being the least impressive among that precedent.

 

Would you crane your neck backwards while driving 75 MPH on the
highway to stare at an ugly woman?

 

How about the chrome vent holes in the front fenders of some new Buicks.

 

You didn't tell me you had a woman in the car with you!

A comeback for cruisoline ventiports?

I had a white '66 Coronet 500 two door hardtop with a black vinyl roof,
and to me, it made the car look much better than the non-vinyl roof
version of the same car. I don't know if this is because it was MY car,
but, to me, those cars still look better with vinyl. That said, I can't
think of any four door car with a vinyl roof that ever did much for me.
