A quick check on the internet came up with these guys who seem to have all the colours. Yours appears to be 'Ford blue'

I got the boot for my '47 from them.......Nice Quality, good prices.
                                         

If they don't have it, try Bill Hirsch. He's about 30 min. from me. Also good people. Been dealing with him for over 35 years, plus he's a Cadillac Guy.......

Kent,
Something to consider - the original top material is 40 gauge vinyl backed by a cotton fabric/material in a very similar color as the side exposed to the weather - not exactly the same, and with black in the case of white tops - bound together by Butyl Rubber.
SMS is a firm that professes to have OEM materials - or can "make new" exactly the color which you need - if not in stock.
Have fun,
Steve

Kent,
I've been working with Putt Georgi of ARO to get a top for my car. It's bronze coloured, #3 in the 1959 top material booklet.
He has a close relationship with Eric Haartz and together they came up with the correct material (except with black lining). Apparently they've been able to do a similar thing in the past for some tri5 guys who wanted a rare colour.
He may be able to help you.
His email is <onlinesales@frontier.com> or
