* Correspondence with a fellow enthusiast in September of 2009 about
the Medium Blue convertible top has revealed this interesting tidbit
of information.
- I tracked down Kimmy at Eletrontop in New York, 800-221-4476. I sent her
the photos that you sent me and she immediately said without any
hesitation, “OH, that is GM medium blue.” She went on to say that
this was discontinued 10 years ago. She said that the original
Haartz material number was S71358ZDT. This number
was replaced many years ago by Haartz #2750045A
(this number was discontinued 10 years ago). She was very
knowledgeable and quick to be helpful.
