We put a new vinyl top back on our '72 Lemans Sport when we did the car. Looked excellent. These tops were a period thing. Done properly, and looked after, a new top should outlast most of us. In the days of sitting in the rain, snow, and salt, the metal underneath took a beating. The main problem was that the roof, under the vinyl, had virtually no protection. Prepped and painted properly you should never have a problem. I've seen the white with black vinyl and, to me at least, it looks a lot better.

It'll look good with black vinyl top and black side/pin stripes.

As long as you use a quality top, it will look better with the vinyl top in my opinion. Don't use a cheep repro. Get it from SMS or Kee Auto top.

IMO
i am into 1970's Chevelles and i always hated seeing a White SS until i saw one with a black vinyl roof. it breaks down all that white with perfect harmony to black stripes and a black interior. if your 1969 has the black interior with black side stripe it will look stunning. ![]() attached is a photo of a 70 as i do not have one of a 69.

The car has a black side strip and black interior.
and Mr. Rose had me convinced to keep it on. then I tore the old one off today. I can see that white paint under the glue and it just changed the way the whole car looks.

Put your top back on Donnie, you're killing me....
![]() I agree with most of the others. Not a big fan of white until you add the black top and stripes which really sets it off. The exception is the all white with black stripe 69 Yenko Chevelle. That car looks great with the addition of the Yenko stripes. That car would also give you some idea of what yours wouls look like sans top. ![]()
