Here's Mine

Warren,

I think the same as yours, 6 supports. This one was over the counter in 69, I put it on myself. It was for a C3, not sure the 67's had one like it.

You only get dinged for the holes in the body in judging, but it's worth it. Great for long trips, here's another shot:

I put one on my 62 in 67, but I turned aluminum bullet tips for mine. A cooler wouldn't fit in the trunk for the races. Still have the car with the rack.

Nice top Jerry

Two tone colors work on mid-years ... you've got red line tires too for three colors. When Jerry Bramlett owned my '67, after theives tried to steal the car, he put a red hardtop on and drove it that way for a while. Colors of red (top), white (WW tires) and blue body ... how cooooool.
Best, Kent

Re: Nice top Jerry

Kent,

Looks pretty snazzy, doesn't it. Here it is from the front:


I remember in the early 70's, I thought the white convertible top over the Marina Blue body was a great combination. When I put the hard top on for the winter, the blue over blue looked like a different car and not quite as classy.

So around the mid-70's, I had the hardtop covered in white vinyl. Who was thinking about factory correctness then.

Now that I'm one of those NCRS fanatics, I realize the white vinyl on the hardtop is incorrect. I lost a full 85 points for color at Flight Judging for the white vinyl hardtop (but still made Top Flight).

But I still like the white vinyl hardtop, it's a keeper. The white vinyl is getting a little shabby, so I might even replace it with new white vinyl. Would never consider black, it is an absence of color, looks black and blue.

But the next time I go for judging, I'll have it judged with the almost correct white vinyl top. Taking Keith's advice.

Having fun,
