junkyardjeff Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Using a couple junk 50 convertibles and a 49 grille I built a 49 like my dad had back in the early 50s,as far as I could tell from those old faded color pictures it was a pea green with a maroon interior. Its not the best restoration that I done but did not have much to work with and probably should have found a unbuilt kit. Its still missing a couple small parts but done enough for now.
espo Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Nice looking convertible. Was the canvass top on your fathers car maroon ? Those were great cars, I had a '51 tudoor that served me well and I drove it like I stole it.
junkyardjeff Posted November 8, 2016 Author Posted November 8, 2016 I do not know what color the top on my dads car was,I am thinking it might have been black and thinking about repainting the top to black as I doubt they were maroon back then.
