If it came with black out trim there will be code W02 on the option code sticker on the under side of the trunk lid.
I forget the code for the landau top.

About T limited

Re: About T limited
It was an option, for the landau top. On how rare that is I am not too sure, It all depends on the way its optioned I guess. If it means anything I have only seen a few with landau tops, Never seen one with the landau top & black out trim though.
Whats really rare is when you find one with a landau top & a power moon roof.
Never seen a limited that did't have the bench seat colum shift. They typically all have colum shift & the pillow type bench seats.
There are some out there that have a mini center console but still retain the colum shifter. They also had different interiors too & leather is rareer the cloth.
Yes they had the leather steering wheel.

I believe there were two Landau Vinyl roofs.
Standard one and heavily padded one which is rare.
I believe the real convertible looking roofs may have been on the Presidential series or some other promotional Regals.

Crispy, re-read it. 
I said the fake convertible roofs were on special models and perhaps even dealer installed.
Not a typical Buick option like the Landau roof models the two types that were available for order in 1987.
I think the fake convertibles were later models in Regals, that roof treatment being the whole roof and with fake convertible struts in it.

still talking about t limiteds
So this is what under stand there two vinly heavly padded and regular vinyl. the one thats heavly padded looks like a convertable top.
the heavly padded one was dealer instaled option so it could have been instaled on any trim level regal
I also understand it is "ghetto" I dont know how many Grand mothers do drive bys and drink 40s. But on the other hand i did by in Newark Nj and I live queens by shea staduim so i guess maybe it is Ghetto
well i guess this thread ends today
Thank you For your Help
please xcuse the spelling

Re: still talking about t limiteds
Didn't mean to offend. I wasn't aware there were two types of vinyl tops. My '81 Regal had a burgandy vinyl top (just the rear, like the two pics) that felt slightly padded when you pushed on it. I'd hardly have called it heavily padded, but it wasn't just vinyl on the bare roof either

Did your car come with the optional Daytons and metallic purple paint too!
Ghetto has nothing to do with it. The vinyl top treatment was a very popular option on MANY cars built during the 70's and 80's. Many Cutlasses and Grand Prixs of that same time period were all over the road. The roofline of the G-body lent itself well to a landau top.
IMO, the landau roof adds a classy touch to a classy Limited package, especially if you include the Landau light bars.
krom's car is the epitome of class............2-tone and all!
ALL '87 T Regals (even non-turbo ones) came with the leather wheel. The color of the wheel depended on with interior color you had.
