Re: 58 blue conv. top supplier
Try Al Knoch or any of the other part suppliers, or Electron Top Mfg. I don't know there number off hand. They advertise in some of the different auto related magazines such as Hot Rod Magazine. They can make a top of any color you want. They will sew the "tag" onto the top that is below the rear window that most Corvettes came with from the factory, also the dated "glass" plastic window if you let them know you want these items and what date you want stamped on the "Glass".Mike D #1787 -

Call Dale at Al Knock. He supplied a blue top for our Silver Blue 58 about three years ago. Nice top.Comment

Re: 58 blue conv. top supplier
The last time I tried to get anything blue, it was not available. Maybe that has changed now. I finally found some blue somewhere else and sent the material to Al Knoch and had the tops made. But, most material made today is black on the inside. The 58 should be all blue on the inside, pads and all.Comment

Agree!!!
We had a customer with a '59 that dearly wanted a blue soft top. Hue in '59 was unique. We tried ALL of the sources and came up dry. Finally, consulted NCRS Interior NTL, John Kennedy, who confirmed NOBODY has the correct/original material!!!! John had, perhaps enough to make a small repair or build 1/3 of a soft top....
AK told us they'd have to commit to a 50,000 linear foot factory run to have the material properly reproduced and it wasn't worth the expense for a 1-year only product! So, good luck with your search....Comment

Re: Agree!!!
Technically, the info that I have is they did not produce Frost Blue in '58. It was Silver Blue in '58 and Frost Blue in '59. The '59 color was slightly Bluer than in '58.Comment
