I love it just the way it is! Bill '59 Crown Bill,. I just wanted to thank you for the heads up on the texured top, as I had assumed that on my car, it was an aftermarket attempt to update a car to look as if it had a vinyl roof. I don't believe vinyl roofs were available in 1963, the year of my car. Like you, I have about decided to keep the textured roof, whether it is from the factory or a later add on.It is period for this car. Danny
