I find the photo in this link very interesting on account of the sagging
fabric on the roof of one of the near wrecked cars. Does anyone on this
list have knowledge of that sort of un-stretched look other than in a wreck
photo? In other words - from a modelling point of view - is there any basis
for wrinkles of other non-smooth finishes on roofs?

No. Roof canvas was stretched tight and shrunk if needed before painting. The
same technique was used on boats and automobiles of the day. The roof membrane
only developed wrinkles like that when the underlying structure was much
distorted, like in a wreck.
