All GM hardtops in 1959 and 1960 use the same canopy / bubble top. The whole roof section is the bubble top. The bubble top is somewhat diminished for 1961 because of the re-designed front windshield/front "A" pillar, where as the 59-60 windshield is a true wraparound. For 62 only the Chevy Bel-Air retains the 1961 hardtop canopy while all the rest of the "B" body cars including Impala implement the new "BOW" Roof hardtop. "C" body cars use another version of the hardtop of which Pontiac and Chevrolet are not a part of.. Olds and Buick use "B" and "C" bodies.
