I just installed my new top boot last week. While I got it from Year One, it would seem YO, Poston or OPG would use the same suppliers. My dark saddle interior proved to be a tough match as the boot is a bit lighter than the 34 year old rear seat cushion. I'm still pleased witht the look, though.

Russ, Is your interrior 1970 burnished saddle (drk brown)? Do you have any pics of the boot compared to back seat? How was the fit? I saw a new burnished saddle one at the BPG Nats and it looked a little loose. The owner said he had to send his original in with the new ordered one and get it re-cut/sewed. He said it fit better but still a little loose. I didn't notice any color variation on his. Just asking some questions before buying one. I heard OPG was having a sale on them. Lon
I have Burnished Saddle. (code 179) My top boot fits very snug. When finishing the installation, I had to use a hair dryer on the passenger side to ease the stiffness a bit, and then I was able to snap the corner into place. I think it would be impossible to match a new boot with a 34 year old interior but I'm pleased with the look. I'm attempting to borrow a digital camera as we speak and if successful, I'll post pics of the car. Russ Waters 1970 Skylark Convertible 455
top boots if you want thigs to fit, buy from Legendary---Poston is about 3 tiers removed from the manufacturer--I have had miserable experience with their upholstery---selling factory seconds?????
