        Wow, an LTD-S tudor. That is truly a rare piece right there, and looks to be extremely clean. I've seen quite a few nice looking 79-82 LTD-S Sedans driving around here in the south, but only ever One LTD-S Tudor, and it was pretty beat.

        Looks like your Vinyl Top came off easier than mine did.

        Good luck with your project!

          yes, another memeber to the 2-door slick-top club

          and ur lucky, looks like your top didnt have insulation under the vynil, took me like 2 hours to get everything off

          very nice car, but arent the 79's supposed to have little vents on the front fenders and behind the rear windows ???


          good luck on teh rest mang

            It's not an LTD Landau, so it don't have the vents.

                  Actualy there is some unfinished seams near the top half, or there was but I finished the body work, including some dent repairs and its getting painted in its original P76 color right now.

                    no, its original vinyl top car, just that these years tend to come off a little bit easier than the later models.

                          i noticed a more finished quarter panel also.......must have been because the top is not padded or not as much as the later model vinyl tops.....on toms vic, there was no filler at all in the 1/4 panel seam at all, just a strip of foam in the seam.
