1962年福特雷鳥

????涂覆乙烯基的車頂最初的設計宗旨是賦予固定車頂車型以敞篷車的外觀，但是最終這一裝置演化成了特立獨行的風尚宣言。福特汽車公司（Ford）于1962年首次在其雷鳥（Thunderbird）車型上裝配了這一車頂。乙烯基車頂果然大行其道，而且，一些配有后側壁板小窗和雙排座格柵的簡化版乙烯基車頂在此后后二十年間的雷鳥車上依然可見。

1962 Ford Thunderbird

????The vinyl-covered roof was originally designed to give the appearance of a convertible to models with a fixed roof, but eventually it evolved into a styling statement in its own right. Ford tried it for the first time with the 1962 Thunderbird. The vinyl covering proved popular, and some form of vinyl trim, embellished with opera windows and landau bars, would be seen on Thunderbird roofs for the next two decades.
