 |
|
| Hello everyone i just bought a 62 vert for my wife to give to her for her birthday (she doesnt' know). Well the car is 98% complete, the top is ripped and I belive it has been replaced because it's white and not black. I have been looking at some pics of other 62 verts some and dont have the chrome trim above and belowe the rear window. Does anyone have pics of a og car? thanks.. |

The chrome trim was installed until a change in the body in early 1967. If you have one without it was simply not installed or fell off. Chucks Convertible Parts sells a nice replacement set.
