Hi I'm restoring a 1954 Hornet Convertible. The body is the Green/Gold and the interior is a Forest Green color. Can anyone guess what original color of top was??? When I bought it, somebody had stained the top to try and match the interior. I'm thinking either Tan or Black. Maybe Dave S or Bill A can try to answer this one. Thanks Gary

    Information I have says that the top for 54 convertibles was available in maroon, black and tan. Hope that helps.

    Come on Bill, don't you think the maroon/green combo would be a great look around the holidays?

    Would this be the convertible that was owned by Joel Gray in Michigan? I agreed to buy the car at his asking price and when Nick & I were ready to leave to pick it up, he called and said his family wouldn't let him sell it. It seemed like a good resoration project.

    (I would use a tan top from Bob Rosol if it was mine.)

    Personally, I think the Tan would be the better choice. Of course, it all comes down to what YOU like..
