This car, which sports a vinyl top, rolls across the auction block next month without a reserve. Anyone familiar with this car? Here's my authenticity question. Was a vinyl top available in 1964?
Here's a side question. Anyone care to guess what this car will sell for?
I believe vinyl roof coverings (aside from those on the earlier Eldorado Sevilles) became available in '62 on the DeVille and Fleetwood models only.
That is a beautiful Fleetwood! It's anyone's guess as to what it will go for. If the right two buyers are present and a bidding war ensues, who knows how high it will go?

Nice looking car. I'd hazard a guess of $15000 before fees and premiums.
I worked on a 1960 fleetwood 60S that had a factory vinyl top back in the 70's . the car was all original. Dave
The answer is yes to the vinyl top question.
Price depends on how the car strikes the buyers, which is hard to tell from a picture. This is a restored car (with mileage not indicated). Based on its award history, it is probably a high quality restoration.
'64 is the last "fin" year, which should be a plus. With the turbo-hydramatic transmission and the larger engine, a good '64 is a pleasure to drive as well. It is hard to guess the value because there are not a lot of restored sedans from this era, but if the car is really nice, it would not surprise me to see it go above $20K.
