Dorval car must have been sold at Harland Motors, closed down about 10 years ago. A common practice of montreal area dealers was to add their own vinyl tops. There was a company that would go to dealers and install vinyl tops right in the parking lot, they did it for about $25 less than dealer wholesale cost from the factory. Most dealers didn’t mention to customer that their top wasn’t GM of course. They’d find out soon enough though, they used thin cheap vinyl that would fail prematurely and the trim edge was a flexible fake chrome looking material that could be hand bent around corners.
