Vinyl tops seem contrary to stock car image, yet many seem to be on the production winged cars sold (???)............... odd it was even an offered option....

It covered the multitude of bodywork sins committed at the factory to get that rear window plug in there.

All Superbirds had a black vinyl top. As said above, it was to cover the really large seams between the additional rear window "plug" that housed the concave rear window, and the C-pillars. This was a result of the extensive and time consuming body work that had to be done to blend in the 1969 Daytonas' rear plug and fastback window.

That was from "Corky" a movie Robert Blake was in (well before he did or didn't murder his girlfriend).
