White, Black or No Top... Decisions HELP
 
Need some Help
My car is red with black interior, should I go White Top, Black Top or possibly No Top, take a look at some pictures I found. I appreciate any advice I can get. No Really, I need to pick a color.

I like the black. I have the opposite of your car, black with a red interior. I have a black top. You only need the top if it rains though, so most of the time you won't see it.

Based on these 3 pictures I say topless would be the best look. :)

I agree. No top!!!

My 69 came from the factory with a white top, (red with black interior). The PO put a black top on it. I just replaced it (3rd top in almost 50 years) with another black top.

Beige was also available for folding tops.
:)

Offered as original equipment? Where have you seen this?
Aftermarket has any color of the rainbow but to my knowledge only black & white offered by Chevrolet

I would do black to match the interior.

I would try to put what originally came on it, if that doesn't matter, I would go with black...I maybe partial...Although, no top is cool too....:)

My advice, for what it is worth: Light colored tops tend to show (for lack of a better word) folding frame shadow stains. I had a tan top on my C6 and no matter what I put on these shadow stains, they would not go away. Will no longer get anything other than a black top, but that is just me.

Yes. Folding top color was a no cost buyer's choice.


...Where have you seen this?...

I have that: I see beige was no longer offered after 1970.
Thanks

I would go with the topless blonde myself. LOL. :rofl:

white makes the red POP. It gives it contrast and depth, black tends to knock down darker red

tokim 07-27-2018 07:22 AM

Black to match interior.

ZRXGreen 07-27-2018 10:46 PM

While I prefer the white top on the red body, I think the black goes better with the interior.

7T1vette 07-28-2018 12:08 AM

I'd go with white. It will be cooler in summer; and many times it will be down. I just think white over red is classy! :D

Iceaxe 07-28-2018 12:25 AM

Black

Black4speed 07-28-2018 01:42 AM

Another vote for black.
