Hello fellow members,
I recently purchases a 66 bronco from a friend of mine. This unit had a complete nut/bolt frame off restoration about 4 years ago. It was repainted in springtime yellow and a light white color on the dash and door panels. I am kind of stuck on what color to paint the hard top in. Should i stick to Wimbledon white to keep both white and yellow original to 66 or should i paint the hard top in the lighter white to match the door panels and dash?

If you're wanting to stay original, the dash and door panels were gray. Everything else that was "white" was Wimbledon. No pics? We'll be awaiting pics :)

I had to repaint my top after painting it Wimbledon White. It didn't match the very white fender flairs.
Chevy/Toyota White was the match.

If you are trying to go classic, I would go with Wimbledon White. Especially on the exterior.

Wimbledon White to look correct. Later years dash and panel were Parchment and not Wimbledon White so they didn't match either!

The top was Wimbledon white. It didn't necessarily match other white colors on the vehicle. Just another one of the little quirks of the EB. :)

you don't think if the door inserts, dash, front grill and the ford lettering on the tail gate are one shade of white and the topper in Wimbledon white?
