You are actually meaning a convertible top and NOT a hard top...due to your other thread is showing the painted hardtop...Correct?

Or is this an entirely different Corvette?...that also happens to be green.

Sorry no photos of a white convertible top on a dark green car.

FWIW: These show up in Google.






Folding top color was a buyer's choice.

Thanks you for the reply....and as for the color of your top...as you know that one is all up to you.

I have installed many of the fabric tops on a C3...and they looked rather good. It just has a different 'feel' to it when you look at it due to the top is not shiny. I had Al Knoch Interiors make me a top out of the 5 ply material for the C5's and it worked out great and in liked it due to the thicker material gave it more 'body'.

The one thing...if it matters to you...is that the white vinyl top has to be a bit cooler due to not getting as hot as a black vinyl. Heck...down here where I live the school buses have the roofs painted white...but like I wrote...that may not matter.
