These two pictures show another interesting part of the car. Note the “trim” pieces around the back glass. When I first got the car and studied pictures of the Red car with the Black roof, I really thought it had a real vinyl roof, but was puzzled how they did it. That was one of the first questions I asked Dave Libby, how did they do the roof. He laughed for a few seconds, then explained. The black was simply spray paint in a can, meant to give a vinyl roof look, and then the area where the moldings are were painted silver. To me, the black vinyl roof look is one of the most unique and interesting things about my car, always sure to draw a comment or two at shows. I know a lot of the cars back in that era have these trim pieces, and on several cars were painted silver, but IMO, they really accent the black top and red bottom. I have had a couple of folks tell me they like the burgundy colored DH cars better, but I am kind of fond of the Black over Red look.
