For the '59 models, a "Scotch Grain" treatment was available for the rear portion of the Southampton tops. The effect was like a vinyl or leather padded top, but using a textured paint. This was a separate option from the Silvercrest stainless steel forward roof treatment. I believe '59 was the only year Scotch Grain was available as an option. The same paint was available at your favorite auto parts store by the mid- 60's as a "vinyl top-in-a-can" dress up. I've seen 2 '60 LeBarons (and a '61 Fleetwood) with very nicely fitted vinyl tops. As you know on the '60 LeBaron, there is no trim where the top meets the body which would be a logical break for either a painted or vinyl top. These cars had a very nicely fitted trim piece to anchor the lower edge of the vinyl top. I thought it looked too nice for your average upholstery shop to make up and I wonder if those cars weren't sent to someone like Derham for fitting. Cheers, Roger
