Discontinued April 1, 1955.
**
New colors introduced April of 1955.
***
In March/April 1955 the top material changed to a vinyl-coated
fabric called Cotan. It's believed while the Polo White car
began receiving the new white vinyl top, the Gypsy Red car continued
to use beige canvas possibly until stock was depleted. The
use of a white vinyl or tan vinyl top is possible probably on very
late Gypsy Red cars.

Some Copper cars probably used Polo White paint in these areas.
** Red Carpeting may have been used.
*** Some cars may have been with a Sportsman
Red panel.
Note: The Light Red Vinyl listed for
Light Beige trim is coordinated to Gypsy Red and is different shade
than associated with Sportsman Red, however Sportsman Red Vinyl
may also have been used on some, possibly early, Gypsy Red Corvettes.
