What are the differences between a 68 and 69 style vinyl tops?

the 69 vinyl roof style uses a unique belt mldg which allows the 69 model cars to show a small portion of the painted surface of the roof around it's perimeter. whereas the 68 style roof shows no painted roof and the vinyl roof material actually goes under the windshield and back glass reveal mldgs. perhaps someone could post a few pic's to demonstrate the differences? if you look at the factory pic's of the two models 68 vs. 69 the differences will be apparent to you, hope this helps.

Alan, was this car raced frequently at Englishtown Raceway Park ? Was it ever raced with a L-88 engine ?

'69 style (and a '68 sitting next to it.)



'68 style on a '69. No body color showing above the drip rail or on the 'A' pillar.

Sorry Alan, no I don´t. I was just thinking that mabye the blue L-88 car with black vinyl top that raced at Englishtown in the early seventies was actually your car and not the one from Brahms. But mabye there were two (or even more)blue L-88 1969 Camaros at Raceway Park back then.
Attached is the Brahms SS L-88 car.

E-Town was a haven for such cars! ALL the big dealers were within about 50 miles of E-Town. I bet they all were in competition with each other for sales too. Scuncio was up the road a bit in RI. I know Bob Johnson had a mess of good running cars back then also. Great work Anders. Ever think of relocating?
