1951 Karmann conv.

[Böm]

Our 1951 Karmann convertible is now driveable. Some parts are still missing and some work remains to be done. The main issue is the roof top. We are looking for the best materials for this, headliner, padding, top layer. A dark green colour would be preferable for the outside. All info about this would be appreciated.

very nice is it black over green? the lighting is not great for making it out...

I assume it's registered with this group who would be able to advise. https://www.karmann1952.de/home.html

I've not used these guys but they do have a range of sonnenland material tops in a range of colours including grey-green and dark green

Very nice. The car is green / green.

Would suspect the best material is sourced from Germany and the Mercedes quality canvas. Maybe Beetle key / Markus.

Ask the Karmann Registry boys they will know.
Many years since I had it done to my -50 kabriolett.

Beautiful! Will it be ready for Bad Camberg, and if so, would you be taking it?
