Default Soft Top Swap

We completed the soft top swap. I tried to talk my friend out of giving up his original top, but he wanted a nice new top on his car. The original white top and frame from his car really makes the blue '67 stand out and works great with the original paint and original interior.

The best part was the swap was easy. My friend has my nice new soft top and I have his nearly 60 year old soft top.

Our cars are very similar, Bill. You should post up a picture of your blue 390.

Tim,
Looks awesome, with a slight patina.
OEM is always the way to go.

Sure thing Tim. The teal blue top has darkened a bit over the years. Would be great if we had them together for a photo op sometime!

The 2027 Nationals would be a great opportunity.

Your car looks great, Bill. I had forgotten your car was a no radio car, I was looking for the antenna.

Geez, I need to get out more.

Bill, I always thought in photos your ‘67 had a Black top.
A Teal Blue top just took that car to another level.
Gorgeous Corvette!

Chris.
