I see a lot of cars that are blue (or red) with white stripes and white convertible top along with all white interior.

I am really wanting a blue/white exterior with white top, but with black interior.

Opinions of this color combo?

thanks,

Pat

Saw that combo on a Corvair once, looked real nice. Remember the boot cover should be black, to match the interior.

How about blue and white and blue?

That's purty!😀

That is really a good looking car.

The project car I am looking at buying soon has a black interior that is in really good condition. The exterior needs body work and a full paint job so I have options there.

My favorite colors for the exterior it to be either blue and white or red and white, but already having a black interior in good shape is causing me to wonder about what exterior color I should use.

Suppose I could settle for red and black exterior but I really don't want to settle.

Has anyone ever seen a blue/white or red/white with black interior?

thanks,

Pat

What you are thinking about doing certainly falls within the GM/Olds-recommended exterior and interior color combinations for 1970. I think it would look sharp. My parents had a '62 Corvair convertible that was a maroon color with black interior and a white top. That 3-tone looked great and your proposed 3-tone would also look great!

Yes.

Hi Randy,

Thanks for the reply.

I think it would look good also. My concern was that most, if not all the photos I see have a white interior with the blue/white and red/white exterior.

Just wanting to make sure that a blue/white with white top and black interior was not going to be a bad choice and get ostracized.

Sure why not? You could get it like that back in the day.

Hi droptopron,

I wasn't sure if that color combo was one would have been produced back in 1970.

thanks,

Hi Mike, missed your reply earlier.

The boot being black is a good point that I hadn't considered.

I was thinking it would be white to match the stripes but now that I think about it I guess the right choice is to be black to match the interior and not the stripes.

thanks,

Pat

Just out of curiosity, what was the original color combo?

Here are a couples of pics of a red, black and white 71 I used to own. Always thought it was pretty good looking. As someone else pointed out, remember that the boot will be black to match the interior.

The original color was Astro blue with black interior and black top.
