Just had a new vinyl roof for my '76 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five Limousine installed. It has needed one for a few years now. Looks much better; more like a proper limousine.
Here are some before, in progress and completed photos.
Next up will be a set of landau bars.

Your car looks very sharp with the new roof! It's nice to see someone who treats a beautiful car like that with such care!

Thanks. Glad you like it.
I'll post another photo after it has the landau bars.
Here is a shot of the interior...

It looks very nice Tony. Makes it look mint.

Looks great, Fleet. Did you do the roof yourself?

It was done at a shop recommended by the person who detailed the car.
It was done in the correct cross-grain vinyl material.
If you want to match the original material, you have to be careful because several were used... cross-grain, elk grain, tuxedo grain, etc.

Drove the limo today. A good day to take photos because it is partly cloudy. Hard to take photos in direct sunlight with shiny cars!
Here are two photos I took from the first story rooftop...

The landau bars I won from eBay arrived today. As the seller said, they will need to be re chromed. That will be done next week.
Here is a demo photo of how they will look on the limo...

The car is going to look great once you get the landau bars chromed and installed!

Yes, I think so, too. They should add more elegance to the car.

Another set of landau bars arrived today.
Now I have to make a decision... which ones to put on the limo. The small ones or the big ones?
Both need to be re-chromed but the smaller ones are in better condition right now.
See photos below. Which set looks better on the car?

The landau bars are now on the limo. I'm glad I decided to use the smaller set.
I think the car looks more elegant with them.
Here are some photos, including one of me playing chauffeur...

A few more photos I took during the daytime.
The first three show the Limo in a parking lot along with other common cars. :D
And the fourth photo shows it in my driveway.
