Thanks for the reply.

However,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, your comment(s) is "very" confusing and hard for me to understand.

Your black white, and "tinted" (?) pictures in your '32 books of Tops and upholstery material colors are "very hard" for me to see one color from the other. I "see" one color, someone else "sees" another color. Another person "sees" a entirely different color.

Looking through the 100's of pictures of '32 roadster tops that GOOGLE supplied. The three colors that stand out, is the Black, and the lighter tans, dark(er) tans.

You once told me (PM) that Stayfast makes the closest '32 Roadster/Phaeton top material.

In Stayfast's web site they show both a "Oyster" with tan backing, and a "Tan" with a tan backing. (either color looks correct compaired to the pictures in your book) I posted the question, which one of those colors is the correct '32 material? You stated above. That, "Dark Beige is the closest" (Stayfast does not list a "Dark Beige" color) I do not understand your comment of, "but lacks the Olive Green of the original."

Then you state, the near white "Oyster" color (which Stayfast offers) is about as close to the original,,,,,,,,. What in the world does "Red and Blue" have anything to do with original '32 top colors!?

According to your above statements either color is the "closest." (???)

Please tell me how can I "word" the question, "which one of Stayfast's top colors listed is the correct '32 roadster top?"
