I have a 1970 Chevelle SS with original color of Black Cherry and a Black vinyl top.
What color stripes would be correct for this
color.Also the interior is Black vinyl.
Thanks,Paul

Paul, it would make sense the stripes would be white which looks awesome on that color. Black was probably available or stripe delete.

white would be the original color of the stripes. I chose GMC dark indigo blue with silver stripes for my 1972 chevelle. i think it looks awsome compared to white stripes and the lame blues (no offense) of this era. I guess i am in the wrong forum huh? I am into visual beauty not resale value. I do understand the concept of keeping it original. Black would look cool even know it is not very contrasty. lav

It would have to be white. You could not get black stripes on a black cherry car.

If you wanted to see what the Black Cherry looks like with the white stripes, see my signature.
