The 2 Tone Muscle Car is Back

It's not a Camaro but you never know. Can a vinyl top be far behind?

I heard two tone paint jobs are going to be making a comeback. Although I expected to see them on luxury cars not muscle cars. It may be a few more year before we see vinyl tops.

Two tone looks really good on a Challenger.

It does!

Also water can get under the vinyl and rust the roof and pillars.

Fox viewers remember vinyl roofs well, since the average age of them is 68. Need proof, look at all the carriage roofs on late model Buicks & Lincolns I have a 1985 Buick Riviera with a landau as my collector car. It's almost 32 yrs old & looks great. There is a product called NuVinyl & I treat it every other year. Looks new and padding under still soft.
