That Gold convertible with the burnt orange stripes and white roof really looks good.

Those are red stripes, which were not a recommended color combo with that gold. The original owner wanted the combo because some FL football team is that combo.

My 70 W31 automatic was originally light green with white stripes and a painted white roof. When it was repainted, I went all green with narrower gold side stripes, and no hood stripes.
My 4 spd W31 was a darker green when I got it with black stripes, but I discovered that it was originally Gold with black stripes.
I parted out a 72 W30 that was the teal color with white stripes.
Most of the W cars that I've seen over the years have mostly been white or black stripes, so it's cool to see the other combos surfacing.

Ooh . . . a two-tone car? Got a pic?

Gold is the third most popular stripe color. It's not common, but it's not rare either.

No, I don't have a before photo. I've been searching through boxes of old photos to try to find one. I know I had a couple given to me that were taken at the drag strip, but they disappeared years ago. I'm hoping to run into someone that might have one when I hit a couple of the Vancouver cruises this year.
I have a few pics of it after it was repainted. I kept the chrome roof pieces on it.
I'm missing photos of a few cars that I used to own, and I think my ex-wife has probably disposed of them.
