Found out my 70 cranberry came as autumn gold. Are there any pics on this site of the color? Not really sure of the color. Thanks.

Thanks Zach, I love the color. Mine has a black vinyl. Wonder if that was part of the "package?'. Also, black stripes? Mine has black interior.

I really like the look of vinyl tops on Chevelles. I would hazard a guess that the car came with it from the factory. A lot of people don't like them and remove them during a repaint or resto, and IMHO, I think it would be unlikely that someone added the top.

Having said that, I'm adding one to my Chevelle while it's getting painted in the next few weeks, so you know where I stand on the issue.

But, back to your original reason for the post, the gold is a superb colour, and I would go back to it. Not too many around in that hue, but everyone and their brother seems to have Cranberry Red.
