Pre-A Speedster Top Frame Color

#1 Post by Robert Graham »

I finally took a close look at my top frame which is correctly stamped 217 in two places. The frame is painted a very light olive green however in places I can see light gray where the green has rubbed or worn off. The light green is so uniformly applied and worn it appears to be original. The car is COA Signal Red so makes little sense of a repaint to light olive green. Can anyone shed light on the early Speedster frame colorings. Thanks.

Mine is (from memory) XX084 and stamped as such. It was beige when I got it in '68 and I had it repainted beige around 1980.
