Back in the day, I painted my in-laws car. I didn't tell them what I
was doing with it.
I painted the bottom a light blue and the top with a white textured
paint which I think was rubberized. First I applied a sticky tape
which had embossed stitching on it. Front to back on each side to
appear like seams. Then painted the top with the textured paint. They
loved it and bragged on it to their friends. It was simple and turned
out great, looked like a fabric covering.
Came in any simple color you might want, and after I did theirs, the
body shop where I worked tarted to offer it as an incentive for paint
jobs.

Yes, the 1959 DeSoto Adventurer had a textured finish on the roof. It
was not a vinyl roof nor a roof covering, but a paint that gave a
leather grain effect.
Have yet to come across any paint codes for them, though.
