Re: Convertible Top - Bright White or Oxford White? Fellow feature car owner Ron reminded me of an email conversation we had last year where he provided me with some details direct from Haartz on top color: Dear Ron, Thanks for contacting Haartz. You pose a very good question and the answer is one that is actually rather detailed. Your 1993 Mustang was originally supplied with a Double Texture Standard Grain top in the color "Performance White" with a color code of 1439 supplied by Haartz. This color was only used for the 1993 model and then dropped by Ford. Haartz has not run this color for over 10 years and I have no records to indicate who might of bought this color after the original Ford purchases. Moving forward to the 1994 model year Mustang, Ford "tweaked" the color, keeping the name "Performance White", but with a new color ID number 1494. It is a slightly different color but one that is currently available. To make things even more confusing, starting with the 1995 model year Mustang, Ford changed the name to "Bright White", but kept the color number the same 1494. As the original color 1439 is no longer available to our knowledge, unless somebody has some NOS material hidden away, your only option is to go with the 1494 color which is available. Make sure to specify the "Standard grain" as starting in 1995 Ford changed to the "Sailcloth grain" but kept the color from the previous year. EZ On should be able to supply you with the 1494 color (it could be called Performance White or Bright White) as long as you get the Standard grain material. I hope this help, Regards, Doug The 1992 isn't specifically mentioned but he does say that Performance white (later called Bright white) was started in 1993. The guy at Haartz seems very helpful. Perhaps, an email to him could clarify the 1992 color. ---------------------------------------- ~John 1993 Triple White, auto, all stock, 51k miles ![]() |
