You´re right! I only noticed that something was wrong with the car somehow. So we can suppose the vinyl roof had been already replaced. These mistakes mostly happen when a hearse gets reconditioned in a smaller bodyshop without any deeper relation to the funeral business. If they don´t manage to ruin the landau bars by breaking them apart, they confuse them in the process of reassembling... It´s a "Superior Landaulet" btw.
