Possibly they had to use the stencil for the vinyl top cars if the assembly line was out of stock on the non-vinyl top one.

Thanks Jon for input! I was thinking the same thing. I know VN did a lot of different stuff back then. Something I’m also curious about is the black grille. Not sure if the original owner painted black? Was it replace for some reason? Or did VN run out of silver? I haven’t had a chance to verify this with the original owner and the seller…. A friend of mine (who we both know!) found out about the car through another fellow and acted as broker…..
