1969-1970 Plymouth and Dodge Mod/Floral Top Registry

Flower Power! Remember that?
In 1969 and 1970, there were three different floral patterns offered by
Plymouth (“Mod Tops”) and Dodge (“Floral Tops”),
installed on the vinyl roof, seat inserts and door panels:

One could order a Mod-appointed car in four possible configurations (the top and interior were separate options on the Plymouths):

1. Mod Top floral vinyl roof and floral inserts in the front and rear seats (most common)
2. Mod Top without floral interior (All of the Dodges (Darts, SuperBees and Coronets) came this way, and they were called “Floral Tops” and not “Mod Tops”). There is at least one Barracuda with this configuration.
3. Regular vinyl roof with floral interior (quite rare – such as this one that was ordered that way from the factory)
4. We’ve also been informed that one could get a convertible Barracuda, with a solid color top, and the floral interior. (don’t know of any that exist)

Here are real world examples of the three different Mod/Floral material patterns:

Quick FAQs:

• How much is my Mod Top / Floral Top worth? Answer: Historically, in general, since these cars are not very desirable (imagine that!!), they don’t command much more than a regular vinyl-roofed comparable car. There are some that have fetched a pretty penny; for example, Steven Juliano’s 1969 Barracuda Mod Top went for $440,000 in 2019. Here’s a site to give an idea of the values 1969 Barracudas, 1969 Satellites, and 1969 Dodge Darts. Also, there is a site that shows what 1969 Barracudas in general have sold for (not specific to Mod Tops, though).

Background and general Mod Top and Floral Top information:

These cars were manufactured starting in the 1969 model year through 1970 model year to appeal to the Groovy Set of young people with colorful floral full vinyl tops and matching floral inserts in the seats and door panels.

They were advertised as “Pop Prints.” 

The Plymouths were called “Mod Tops” and they could be ordered with the floral vinyl top and/or the floral interior; they were separate options. The Dodges were called “Floral Tops” and while they had the floral vinyl tops, they all came with standard (non-floral) interiors.
