History

Well-known member
Does anyone know what color options were available for 1930 sport coupe top? I’d like to know all of the color options for the body and interior as well. Is there a resource to find this information?
Thanks

Thanks Mr PS, I really, really like your car, even the wheels that some don’t. Do you know who made your top and the color options for a top in 1930?
 
Unlike the the 1928/29 Sport Coupes multiple offerings, the 1930 & 31 cars only had one material offered for the top. It was two-tone grey diagonal grain artificial leather. This stuff has not been available any time in the modern era. The closest a person can get is a plain grey exterior vinyl material but it's not authentic looking. Most folks get the kits with what ever Haartz Stayfast color options that are offered by the kit maker.

Volume 5 of the MAFCA "How to Restore Your Model A" series of books has a lot of information on both the 50A and 50B Sport Coupes. I would recommend it more than other references for model A cars that I know of.

Thank you sir! That top is just an old LeBarron Bonney canvas top kit. The material has faded over time. It used to be a lot darker. As soon as someone starts reproducing the correct material, that car will get a new top.
 
Thanks for The info Mr PS, Mr Wrench! I had no idea what color top was an available or that it was so limited in the later cars.
