Greetings. Is there something on the body plate that denotes the color of the vinyl top? Mine has been dyed at some point in its life and I'd like to know what it was originally. Interior is Antique Firethorn. Exterior is Claret Metallic. Thanks.

Did a little digging.....the code for a Buckskin top is "T"....which might imply paint 37, Buckskin roof T.  But....I looked deeper and see that the 37 is for the paint and the 37T is the "roof molding colors" in Mahogany.

Thanks, by any chance do you have a pic of the Mahogany?

Hi Mike,

I revised my previous answer while you apparently were replying.  Jump back and check it out.  Here is the color chart with the Mahogany.
