    I brought home another one today, a rough 67 convertible. the car is Ivory with a yellow bucket seat interior. The trim tag is puzzling, convertible top code 7. can't find any reference to what color it would be. currently a black top. Anyone have any ideas? IMG_20230610_092057.jpg

    Brian,

    A little bit of trivia for you: Only 114 (5.32%) of the 2,140 1967 GS 400s had an Ivory convertible top.

    Broken down by assembly plant:
    62 Flint
    23 Baltimore (your car)
    19 Kansas City
    10 Fremont
    114 Total

    Combine that with the yellow buckets…

    Unfortunately the production figures do not show the interior and top combinations but the yellow interior had the lowest production total of the 6 available interiors in the 1967 GS 400 convertible. The 2nd rarest is the Dove bench seat interior with 222 produced.

    The yellow bucket seat production figures break down as follows for the ‘67 GS 400 convertible:

    70 Flint
    36 Kansas City
    28 Baltimore
    17 Fremont
    151 Total (7.0% of 2,140 cars).

    Gary, do you have the chart that shows ‘Recommended/Acceptable’ color combos for ‘67?
    I’d be curious about both the interior and top with each paint color.

    I have the Exterior - Interior chart here from two different sources. These same sources have a compatibility chart for body color and vinyl top but I’m still digging for a similar chart for convertible top compatibility. There was not an Ivory vinyl top so we can’t use the vinyl top chart (vinyl top colors were only black, white, blue, and green).

    The yellow buckets were recommended with seven different paint colors but someone could have ordered it with other paint colors as well. It just wasn’t recommended.

    I really like the Ivory paint when it’s done correctly. It’s just a soft white.

    Okay, I found the convertible top compatibility. It wasn’t in the paper charts but is printed beside the top material sample. The Ivory top was recommended with the same seven paint colors as the Yellow interior.
