My 67 nantucet blue shows signs that the frame was originaly blue, I want to belive its o.e color. At shows I only see this painted black. If mine was a med blue top originaly, would they have painted the frame blue then? Anyone know? Thanks team camaro

semi-gloss black is what my paint chip info shows for the top frame. (although there is a Dark Blue listed, based on convert top color) I have done alot of converts and have never seem them any other color, unless they have been repainted.

Thanks Gene They do list one thats intresting I wonder if the blue top cars were all blue there wasnt to many made I bet.

Info posted is for a 68 sorry I don't have 67 info yet... but I think blue top cars are rare... maybe it has to do with a 67-8 pace car???

...Just thought I'd add in here. I have seen an unrestored (rough shape) '68 (with blue convertible top) where the top frame was indeed BLUE. It was a 210hp 327 w/PG, standard blue interior.
If I can get back to the car in the near future, I will try to photo.

I have also seen a '67 (extremely rough shape) Originally Ermine white, standard blue interior, ...blue convertible top, ...and the frame was black.

I'll add one more note, ... I have owned (did the restoration on) a '67 pace car as well, ...top frame was black.

...this may not answer your questions, but I thought I'd share...

Thank you very much kevin!

Top frames came from the supplier painted black.
:beers:

My car originally had a blue top, and the frame is still painted the blue factory color.

We need to find out if the factory painted them from the suppliers just for the tripple blue cars? or just Van Nuy did it , or..... Thanks everyone for your replies. I have a nantucet blue ext.(O.E), Med blue convert. top(O.E) standard int. Lt blue. Im not Blue!

The assembly plants didn't paint the top frame; it came from the supplier already painted and assembled. The plants mounted the top frame on a buck fixture that simulated the body and installed the latching hardware, pads, top skin, and weatherstrips, then mounted it to the car. :thumbsup:

Well that answers that thank you very much John I did not pic that up in my invetigation. Is that in the crg reports? assembly i would guess, Do you think van nuy may differ? There was some small odd things between the two plants that differd. I bet it was the same supplier for both!
This web site is the best thing since the 67 camaro! Thanks Team Cammaro!

Same assembly process in both plants, same top frame supplier. These days the convertible tops come in fully-assembled/finished and ready to bolt on the car; all the handwork is done by the top suppliers.
