Re: Convertible tops

[Skagdrager@xxxxxxx]

My understanding is that factory headliners for convertibles didn't arrive  
until the 80's. If you saw one on a 60's car, I will say that someone added  it 
on after the fact, unless someone gives me some hard evidence to the  
contrary.
And that's probably why Legendary wasn't interested. 
 
In the 60's, black, white, tan or most any other color convertible top had  a 
black underside. This was true even when the folding frame was painted to  
match the interior colors. One good practical reason is that every time you fold 
 the top down it rubs against the folding top frame and gets dirtier. Pretty 
soon  you've got a real nasty looking underside to your top, which is patently 
 uncleanable. A convertible top which is black on the underside hides almost 
all  of this. So, even if it was original (which, once again, I'd need hard 
evidence  to believe), you'd have to really be into self inflicted pain to 
custom order  one, made with white or tan underside. I actually did that once, and 
regretted  it, big time.
Cheers.

My  '65 Dart had an inner top that covered the top frame and rails.   I
assume the coronet did as well.

My friend was the upholsterer  (another '65 mopar guy), and even offered
the old one to Legendary as a  pattern and they werent interested.
