I believe most of them had vinyl (or similar) tops, also, I think they also had special steering wheels with a stylized "F" in the middle (supposedly sourced from "Frazer" surplus).

Sorry to say that car has a lot of rust (witness the sizeable holes in the rockers and bottoms of the quarter panels). Plus those fancy stainless trim panels on the rear of the front fenders can cover a multitude of sins. The upper grille surrounds and the taillight trim also appear to be missing and can be hard to find. Hopefully, all of that stuff is in the trunk. Luckily, the special Crestliner trim appears to be complete. When I did my car in the late eighties, the regular Custom trim was easy to find NOS and relatively cheap. I haven't looked for any lately.
