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/  [/img]

Re: color restoration
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.

Re: color restoration
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.

Re: color restoration
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.

Re: color restoration
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.

Re: color restoration
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.
