I don't have the original invoice to mention about the hardtop vynil covering... oh, well...

Made in Mexico all bets are off but a vinyl covering on the fiberglass top wasn't a normal thing, probably added later. (it has been 60yrs)

If you are a member of CTCI you should be able to get a copy of the original invoice for the car. See this link...
https://www.ctci.org/invoice.php

Or it might be listed in the Thunderbird Registry...

Would you mind posting (or sending me) a close-up photo of the firewall data plate? Thanks
