Is your trim still intact and you're just looking for a vinyl top, or was the whole vinyl top including trim and clips removed? There is a correct pattern for the 72 vinyl top. I believe it was an elk grain pattern and had double stitching at the seams? I'll have to look it up.

What does the cowl tag for your car show? There was no 'buckskin' code for vinyl roof. The only thing that would be close is 'Covert Beige' - code T on the cowl tag (next to the PNT code)

Is this the color you're looking for? Or something similar? You might have to find an upholstery shop to get that in a Levant surface.


Even Legendary auto interiors (one of the best for Olds upholstery and vinyl) doesn't have anything but black and white Levant vinyl right now.

Walter, clik on Alex's name, then choose 'View Public Profile'. On the right side of his profile is his picture album. The picture he tried to post here is the second one in the album. Shows the car without it's vinyl roof though.
