Default New Pictures of Blue Convertible Tops!

I really love the Supersonic Blue with the Blue Top and I have some on order for stock that will be here soon.

I'm still not sure about the Arctic White with the Blue Top. I really like it and it looks awesome in person but I'm not sure if there's enough of a market for that combination to be worth stocking it.

What do you guys think?

Like the SSB with the Blue top but I do not like the AW with the Blue top.

Maybe with a black interior and blue stitching. Not feeling the tan.

I think AW with the Titanium gray interior and a blue top would look very sharp...!

I have to admit I was absolutely blown away by that photo of the blue 'vert with the blue top. So much so I drove out to a dealer some distance away to just see one (it turned out to be a coupe, but nonetheless) in S Blue.

Maybe it was the usual cloudy weather we"enjoy" here in the Great NW, but I found myself disappointed. Kind of the same reaction to Cyber Gray when it was introduced. Sure it is a matter of personal preference.

But I've always wondered about convertible tops in any color but black. I've had several convertibles, including a '63 Corvette. but the tops have always been black and I've always managed to keep them looking good.

then I see other convertibles - Mazdas, Porsches, et al, with colored tops and they always look terrible to me - at least after a few years of wear and tear.

what has Chevrolet used to assure these blue tops won't fade to a lighter color.?

The son went in right after I got done with the blue car. I'm hoping to get some better pics in the next day or two when the sun comes out.

The blue top with the white is great combination. Personally, I think the cashmere is the best interior option with it, since there is not a blue interior. I'd love to see it in person as soon as my schedule permits. I'm glad you ordered it.

Assuming the combo is available for ordering, you are missing what could be the coolest look...Blade Silver with Blue top!!!

The only Blue top I have ever liked is that first one on the SSB. The Blue on the AW looks lack lustre at best.

Like the look of the blue/blue. I think the white would be great....if only GM would bring back a nice blue interior.

A blue interior would help the AW a lot.

If you could get it with Navy leather/Vinyl that would look nice


that blue looks like what GM been using on the truck and Suburban for years.
Old Blue was more Corvette
