A friend of mine had one of these in white with burgundy leather and we used to cruise up north all the time in it. Always looked forward to riding in that car😊
The finishing touches can make all the difference. Nothing looks worse than faded trim against pristine paint. Another great car just waiting for a new owner.
Can the same guy dye that top back to the original blue to match the paint? IMO that’s all this 5th Ave needs to look new. Those Chrysler blue tops bled color just like the DJE blue Tbirds and Mark Vs. They turn almost a pale blue green. The “other” Bill from Curious cars just did a long video on the almost identical 5th Ave he picked up a few months ago from BAT. These were really decent cars and their sales success over many years was a very welcome surprise to Chrysler and its dealers in those days.
Bill Years ago SEM made an excellent over the parts counter Vinyl Top Dye Kit. It was very easy to use with highly professional results. I dyed my buddies Buick Electra worn light blue top to dark blue and also did a white top that was badly stained and aged with a vibrant white. With current stringent EPA/Environmental regulations I do not know if these kits are still made? My 2 cents if you can get that top back to OEM color shade it will really bring up the perceived value of that 5th Ave. Many years ago I would by Dupli Touch Up paint sticks for a few bucks. Now they are over $20. I had hear failure when I purchased one last year at my sister Mercedes dealer in NY. $60!
That car has no business being so beautiful.
Lol!
Looking good! 👍🏼
Thanks!
Bill - redoing the body side moldings really makes a difference. Car looks great !!😊

Hey thanks! He could but I didn't think it was that far off. Maybe it is??

@@cadgti Nice! To be honest the video makes the top look way more silver than what it is in person. At least from what I am seeing
