The 56 Roadmaster with a white boot cover - from Tony's great picture,

From the request on the earlier thread here is my attempt to put a white boot cover on this gorgeous car. What do you think? White or black?

Looks better with the black boot cover.

Thanks, but I'll take the black boot.

Yea, I'll stick with the black boot too. In fact, I wish the top was black as well. Don't care for white convertible tops. They've always looked dirty to me.

Agree. White tops just don't stay looking good for long.

I like the white boot, and white tops were not that hard if you kept them clean, a little Ajax and a brush and they were white again. JMHO

PIC - Mark did a good job on the Photoshop. Here's another angle...

For me, I can go either way. I like both colors...

I like the white boot. I also like white walls.

Thank you sir. That’s a tough choice, but I’m leaning towards the white top.

I think the black boot emphasizes the interior colors.

Just makes it pop out and looks more like it belongs, IMHO!
