Good question John - The only other colors I've seen is Flame Red which there are many of on this site, Tom Fox's green Belvedere and several years ago I saw a Bronze one at a car show in Lake Placid, Florida. I have never seen any other colors but you could probably get any color offered at the time from the factory.

Hi Dick
The colour I was looking for was blue. I see in the showcase that Russell Housen of Palm Beach FL has a blue top that he had installed. Is there any way to contact him? John

Thanks Matthew. The top colors are what I was looking for. I was wanting a blue top on a powder blue car and it is nice to know that blue was an option. Now to find a blue that I like. John

Matthew, don't forget about the color of my interior which was offered in a 59 SF. I don't think it was offered at first but added later in the model year. As I went with this SF interior in my Belvedere Convert. (not correct in a Belvedere I know, but looks great!)

White Bolster with Charcoal Gray weavings.

And the two exterior colors that were offered in 59 for the Spring colors, One of which is my Turquoise color that I used on my Belvy' convert. (have to look up the other one) :roll:
