It means your car was originally white and did not come with a hard top.  A previous owner added the hard top.

A black hard top looks really good on a white car - especially if the hub caps are also black, just my personal opinion ;-)

I agree with you, the black hardtop looks grate, but I'm in the middle of a hole restoration and I'm not sure yet about the hardtop color.
Suggestions are welcome
Thank you

I agree with Ulf, black on white looks realy great and since your car came with out hardtop you can feel free to choose color.
