Thanks Dana! Yes, you have some great options on that car. I usually see white tops with Tahoe, but I love the black top and headrest seats! I had a Tahoe RS when I was 19 and my brother had a Tahoe SS clone. It’s a beautiful color.

Yes, I really love that color too. I have wondered if getting the black vinyl top automatically made the stripes black also or would my car have come originally with white stripes? My car doesn't have them now after the repaint, but also the pinstripes that would have come as part of the RS package; would they have been white? Could my car have originally come with black bumble bee stripe and black pinstripes if it was ordered that way in order to match the vinyl top?

Mark, I believe the only color stripes available with Tahoe Turquoise were white, regardless of vinyl top. According to MacNeish’s books each primary color was assigned a stripe color. Tahoe Turquoise was white. The only exception was Marina Blue and Bolero Red. Both of those came with white stripes unless a black vinyl top was ordered and then the stripes changed to black.

You could very well be right. We have two local Tahoe cars with black tops and stripes...one RS and one RS SS, but both have been restored and maybe the owners changed the stripes. I’ve forgotten a lot of the details that I used to know about these cars, so I certainly stand to be corrected! I’m sure Jon or Kurt will weigh in...
But for what it’s worth...I do like the black stripes even if they are incorrect!

Just repeating what I’ve read. By no means do I make any claims of knowing everything. I do love that color though. Steve’s car, Dana’s car, and the picture you just posted are all beautiful examples.
