Parchment vinyl top
 
Does anybody know where I can find parchment vinyl for my 1969 top?

Try some automotive trim shops in your area. They should be able to order it if they don't have any. :)

There's a place up in the Northwest by the name of SMS. They have everything you could imagine for interior and vinyl going back to the 1930s. They are not cheap though.

GM never used the parchment color on vinyl tops....they were white, without the
gold tint of parchment found on the parchment interiors. I used to own a one year old 69 Chevelle SS396
back in 1970 and the vinyl top that came on the car was much "whiter" than the parchment interior
was.

Saw a place at Charlotte this year. They seemed to be a fully functional vinyl top company. Original patterns and all. Kee Autp Top. 800-438-5934

BMFGTO, I recently went down this road and ended up buying a parchment vinyl top from SMS. Here is a link where we talked a little about this

Is this a white top on a Carousel Red car?

BMFGTO 03-07-2016 04:30 PM

It's antique gold with parchment top

Wow - sounds sweet!

BMFGTO 03-07-2016 06:08 PM

Hopefully I haven't seen one. I'm still building this one!

I've only seen one Judge with a white-ish vinyl top, and it was Carousel Red. I have never liked vinyl tops on '69 Judges, but it had me drooling. I am so curious about this one you have.

Reminds me of the silver/blue one a member here had - that one would be smashing.

BMFGTO 03-09-2016 01:05 PM

Yeah I will post pictures when it's done it may be a while, yeah the car according to the documentation will be antique gold parchment top with olive decals. It's definitely not your ordinary judge hopefully comes out looking nice!

In 69 Cordova tops were available in Parchment, Black, Dark Blue, Dark Green and Dark Fawn (dark gold). Convertible tops were also available in Dark Blue and Dark Green and Black as well as Ivory but not in Dark Fawn or Parchment.

Ivory convertible tops are a warmish white and Parchment Cordova tops have clearly evident gold pearl exactly like Parchment interior trim.

I agree. At last years GTOAA in Columbus IN I saw my 1st CR with Parchment top and interior. I was blown away how nice it look. It was owned by a ex military man from Detroit. He showed be pictures of him buying a NEW judge in 1969 while in the service. When he retired he saught out another Judge. He ended up with a great one.

Nice!

When I bought my 68 GTO (in 1976) it had the original Verdora Green and Parchment top. A few years ago during restoration I gave up on finding a parchment top and went with black.

BMFGTO 03-22-2025 04:14 PM

Thanks, I ended up finding it at SMS

Pictures would be nice ;)
