Re: Detroit Guys: Jim Funston or Merollis Info?

Paul,
Can you tell me any more about that Mod Topper car and do you have any other pictures of it? It looks like it could be the 25th Z-28 I was talking about.
I like the body-color rally wheels. I have seen a few Z's like that with all appearances of being a factory job. Have not seen white stripes on a Granada Gold car though.
Thanks,
-Jon

I was wondering if it was a Z also. The car may have made an appearance or two at the drag strip also. The body shop had some very talented people. I'm pretty sure the wheels and stripes were done there, but not certain. The guy who would have painted it was around at a local cruise night several years ago. I have not seen him since. Funston and other dealers would doll up cars like this all the time. I remember seeing a sort of spray-on vinyl top on cars. Trim shops would sell packages of mouldings and tops etc. Plain Jane Novas and such would get spiffed up.
The Mod Topper theme just went with the times. I remember it sitting right there and that was before I worked there. I have no other pics. My cousin gave me the ones I posted. I'll see if there are any more.
