Rick,
They became original when the hardtop became available on chassis # AN5-8283
(December 1958). They could be ordered as a option (to replace the
steel-framed, Vynide covered versions) after that. From chassis AN5-34558
(March 1960) on they became standard equipment. Source - "Original Sprite
and Midget".
