Color of roll bar cover?

[Hogtrough]

My '63 (produced around May of that year) has a black vinyl covered, padded roll bar cover. The dash padding is Fawn, the rest of the interior is beige (I assume that is Elk?). Was a vendor selling black padded covers at some point? Shouldn't the cover in this car be Elk padded vinyl? I already have a roll of it, just want to be sure it would be correct

Everything above the "beltline" in a '63 Avanti is Fawn color, regardless of the interior color.  The roll bar cover is always Fawn in a '63.

I'm wondering if I have Fawn and Elk confused (I joined the Avanti world only a month ago). My dash pad is distinctly tan, all the vinyl is beige. I bought a can of "Fawn" paint that seems to be closer to dash pad color. Can you tell me what is Fawn and what is Elk in this photo? I'm seeing three or more colors here.

The dash pad and upper vinyl on door &  1/4 panel upholstery is ‘fawn’… The console and lower door vinyl should be ‘elk’…. My Avanti has the same color interior as yours and ‘I THINK’ the roll bar cover is fawn…….

 (I haven’t thought about that in so long I’ll have to double check!!)

Yep…. Fawn!

Don't forget the roll bar cover is Black in a 1963 with the 813 BKV all Black interior.

We’re discussing a  fawn/elk interior here.

So should the headliner be painted fawn? From the vendor, it's white. Padded vinyl piece at right is already done,  from fabric roll I bought (supposedly Elk) .

The headliner is white on all 1963-64 Avantis.  It looks like yours is a good facsimile of the original headliner.

Guess I will have to toss the old one. The large front half is very close to usable if dyed, only a small portion damaged. But based on what I paid to have the new one shipped, wouldn't be worth it to anyone to have it sent to them, even if I gave it away

Your console is very much faded, but should be Elk, like the rest of the lower "two thirds" of he interior.  Studebaker International may have this Elk vinyl dye in a spray can.
