Ingo ◊ 2010-03-03 17:56	VW had offered faked vinyl-roofs for a while, but I don't think in 1966. "Faked", because VW only had painted the roofs. Ford and GM had used real vinyl-material for that. Yes, there were some private manufacturers, which had offerent this "pimping". An in the UK you still can find some, as it seems to be popular for British classics. There are some single dealers for that in Germany and Holland, too, but in British Classic Car magazines I've found several more.
