      Dot, it wasn't me that wants to dye the top.... Ron made the post about dying it. I came along and looked at the pics on his computer, forgot I was on his and typed a post about doing a Dusk Rose Purse Poll, after I submitted, realized I was on his, that is when I put .....oops.... I do that all the time and do not know how to delete it. Guess I just need to stay off of his laptop....LOL.....as matter of fact after seeing the sand soft top, it really does not look as bad as I thought, but not as good as a black soft top would. Decisions, decisions.....but not mine... Ron's

        Excellent repaint, hood, jams, and under decklid. the engine compartment went flat black and fits great.

          Ron - there was a bronze damaged front facia that just sold on ebay -location was Florida. Looked like somebody had backed into it (was still usable) I don't know if it was from your car or not. Damage wasn't severe, but you may have a different than original piece up there. Might be something to look at, may have been the excuse for the repaint. Beautiful car BTW!

            As it has a new cashmere interior, a cashmere top makes a good choice. Darker would make it look too top heavy to me.

              This car was repainted in 2006 or so and Carfax shows no accidents. The car was always within 40 miles of the original selling dealer and serviced at Ford dealers.

                Carfax will not show anything unless it was reported to insurance.

                  Regardless, I am very pleased with the car and the repaint. The way it has been done would not have been cheap.

                    Other than White, which I think is def retro looking on all birds........I would sure vote for Dusky Rose.
                    Nothing as classy as a mono.

                    Invoice $38,457 - Sold new 9/15/2003
                    One of twenty two built like this
                    She was a good one. Sold 12/30/2014.
                    Replaced with 2013 Infiniti G37 Coupe.
                    A lot better car and even more exclusive, but doesn't have the Cachet the Thunderbird had. Adios, mi Amigo.

                      I have started leaning that way and the tan soft top is beginning to grow on me.

                        I would prefer it to match the seats ! to keep it from looking like a spotted dog

                          Ron, my choice would be a white hardtop,whitewalls and a white soft top.

                            Ron:
                            I voted the Dusk HT but did not say anything about the ST. I now believe a pure white vinyl ST would look fantastic on your Dusk Rose car- Just another opinion
