Those look to be factory moon roofs.

Those are aftermarket tops that were available back in the day. You don't see too many of them.

I agree, back in the day when the OEM glass tops were selling new for over $2000.00 complete as they had to be purchased in pieces and assembled, those were a cost effective alternative.

I remember going to the dealership and asking for a price and the parts department told me you had to purchase the handles, weather-stripping etc separately and including tax I believe it came to a total of around $2456.00. That's when they asked if I wanted them installed. This was around 30 years ago.

Used fiberglass tops are't real expensive, one or two hundred each on eBay.

2500 down to 180, not that is a slick deal!

Also interesting look. Not sure if I really like it over just plain see-through glass tops.
