'75 Laguna S-3 New Jersey, factory t-tops? 00p0p_10

I have never seen one with T-Tops, I have with the power sunroof. I looked in my copy of the 1975 sales brochure and no mention of T-Tops, but it does mention the "Power Sky Roof". It was popular after "Smokey and the Bandit" came out to add T-Tops to everything! Most likely aftermarket.

I know other G3's came with T-tops, like Cutlass', Regals, Montes. But not sure about Lagunas being able to be ordered with them. I know some companies did aftermarket ones, I think including Hurst.

BTW, I have a 73 with a factory skyroof. Best option ever!!!! I also had a 74 parts car with the skyroof until the county made me get rid of my hoard.

Hurst sold em to dealers and they put em in . Guaranteed to leak. I have an old ad someplace with pictures of the applications.

According to the Dealers Sales Album of 1973, 1974, 1975 No T-tops were offered for the Monte Carlo, Malibu or Laguna. The RPO CA1 "Sky Roof" was the only option. Cost was 325.00 in 1973 and 350.00 in 1974. T-tops were available in the next generation Monte Carlo. They were offered first on the Monte Carlo before the SS came out in 1983. They were not offered in 1983 on the Super Sport. My 1987 Aero Coupe does have them, The guy in New Jersey may have bought it that way but GM didn't build it.

Here's a 74 Laguna I saw on Ebay a few years back with T-Tops. I saw a 75 Laguna here in Houston back in the late 80's with T-Tops as well. I'm assuming these were dealer installed.
