I purchased a Parchment top from Kee and it was spot on with the sample from the 69 Dealer manual- color and pattern
I did have an issue with the first top I purchased due to delamination which they were very responsive and sent me a new top right away

Not sure why they gave you the answer they did, request a sample and see for yourself

Thanks for that response Fred. I will call again. Did it have the correct seam widths also because what they were telling & what I saw on a friends car were too narrow on the skirt?. I must've looked at every Camaro at MCACN to make sure what I was seeing was correct.

Here is a picture of a known correct original top ..Thank you, Joe

I will have to double check, the car is not at my house
I believe they were correct -but I will verify
Thank you for the picture and measurements
Question - Measurements- inside- inside or CL-CL?

I had to blow it up but it's odd. It appears to be outside to outside on the top part but inside to outside on the skirt or center to center. I didn't do this picture. It was sent to me years ago. Let me know what you have please. thank you, Joe

Called Kee this morning. Samples on the way. I have a dealer book to compare with.
After examining the picture I posted & other pictures I have, it looks like the outside of the seam on the skirt is or probably was supposed to be even with the inside edge of the back window stainless...Joe

Update. The parchment from Kee is now off white & is too bright compared to the original sample in the dealer album. Both Kee & SMS are heavier on the grain but SMS parchment matches the color in the dealer album. I hate dealing with SMS but I guess I have to. I hope they will be able to use the measurements I've provided in the previous picture...Joe

We had SMS sew covers out of original comfort weave and were told 2 months. Many people told me to expect a year or more, we received them in 6 months worse than quoted but better than Expected?

It took them over a year to provide mohair for my 33 Chev. I guess I better call tomorrow :)

If I had it to do over... I would just order the fabric and then have my local interior guys stitch the seats from the original -using the disassembled deconstructed covers as patterns. (which is what SMS had us do - send in one old front cover the rear top and one rear bucket)

Ordered a new vinyl top from SMS today for my 69 Grand Prix and they told me it would take six weeks???
