    Default White car, black tops?

    Hey guys,

    When I bought my 81 it had black t-tops. The car is white. Was this combination ever an option or do I have different/painted tops? I'm gonna try to have the car painted this fall and if the tops should be white, I'll paint them white.

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I agree. Here's 81 production at St. Louis. Note fiberglass tops with the second car. Car in the foreground will get glass tops.
