I suppose I’ll begin with the brief history of the Mod Top just in case anyone isn’t aware that it really was a really real option offered by Plymouth in 1969 (on Barracudas and Satellites) and 1970 (Barracudas and ‘Cudas). Dodge offered something similar on their A and B bodies in ‘69; only it was called the Floral Top. According to legend the inspiration came from the Milan/Paris fashion trend of the time with the goal of targeting a burgeoning young female car buying demographic. It was a flop. IMHO, the only cars I’ve seen wearing these wild vinyl tops well were the E body Barracudas. About 2 years ago while browsing some sites for unique aftermarket accoutrements I stumbled across Slixx decal sheets of Mopar Mod Top print. I snatched up 2 of them with no idea when or upon what I might use them. Then, the more I thought about it the more it felt like the anything goes mentality behind then Duster and the Mod Top were a perfect match. So..... The paint is Plymouth L5 Bahama Yellow and 500 clear from ScaleFinishes. Trim is BMF. I day-two-ed the spoiler to semigloss white instead of black and added plug wires. Thanks for looking and as always comments, critiques and questions are welcome.
