    New to the site. Great source of info. Were the white tops on the 62 Jetfires available in vinyl, painted, or both? Thanks.

    This is a picture of my Dad’s 1962 Jetfire he bought new in Maryland. He drove it out west to Montana with my Mom in 1963. He had issues with how it was running and stopped at a couple dealerships along the way but he never felt like they were able to get it running right. He traded it in after less than a year of ownership, I think for a Chevy II (Nova). He always talked about the Jetfire.

    This is the only pic I have of his Jetfire. Trying to determine if it was a painted or vinyl top.

    Also, does this look like the Chariot Red or the other (Mist?) red paint?

    Thanks
    Kevin

    That is a vinyl top. The A pillars have the stainless on them. The A pillars would be white also if it were painted.

    Your car has a vinyl roof as Eric noted. The 1962 Jetfire in your picture is Chariot Red, paint code V. The car could have been ordered with two tone paint for $16.46 option price. The Sports top vinyl roof covering was a $75.32 option and was option J-1. Neat car, I have the twin!
