I have a 1950 11G and is pastel green, I am wondering what are my colors options for that year? I have seen a dark green color and black. Thanks.
pictures please if you have them.

Originally your car had an pastell green cover that matched the paint.
But you do not get it today as far as I know.
I found material in a similar green once when I restored my 1953 and got a cover sewed out of it.
You can look out for any green material if it is not too far off and get a cover made of that. Or you pic one of the available covers like black or beige if you like their look along with the paint.

| Grumpy's in CA made a custom sized top for a '55 Sunroof project for me after sending me several color samples to choose from, maybe they have something available for a custom color ? Their quality was excellent but took awhile to get it done. |
