color restoration
 
how would a x44 camaro with a code of 55 50 PNT be painted. I know it is azure turquoise and dover white, but did that mean the vinyl top or paint? I know it had a vinyl top originally. The complete line of the tag is:

TR 727 55 50 PNT

Thanks! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

727= Standard Ivory/Black bucket seats
55-50= Lower color is Azure Turquoise and the top color is Dover White (both are painted on no vinyl top

It didn't have a vinyl top originally, the 2 tone combos used the same trim as a vinyl top to separate the top color from the body color.

Wasn't this fairly a rarely ordered option? I've yet to see a car with 2-tone paint.

Thats what I was going say. Can someone post a picture of the car. I have never seen a two-tone first gen. Camaro before.

Here's a late production (11A) 63-50 coded car. It's actually about 200 cars from the end of production Though it looks like a vinyl top, it's not.

I don't think GM kept color or vinyl top records but I think the vinyl top was a popular thing in the 60's. I remember looking for my 1st Camaro in the late 70's and being turned off by so many vinyl topped cars, but wound up buying one anyway. The 2-toned thing must have been GM's idea to give the customer a whole lot of options on customizing their new car.

Nothing on the colors were kept, but since the Vinyl Top was an RPO (RPO C08)GM does have the records for how many Camaros came with a vinyl top:

67 - 52455
68 - 77065
69 - 100602

Lot of cars had Vinyl tops, approaching 40% of all Camaros in 69. Lot more than have them now.
