Thanks for the info. I remember seeing Argosys with brown/orange stripe zip dees......I found a rather colorful sunbrella pattern that has the beige argosy color, some orange pinstripes among other colors that would look pretty cool, Zip Dee sent free samples. They also have the "brown fancy stripe" that was the orignal..or what people chose aftermarket. That was discontinued but they still have it......I thought it was owners choice with the dealer in those days, ie dealer installed option......I do know our 77
Sovereign that my father bought 6 mos old, had a Carefree, and this '77 26ft Argosy has and A&E....perhaps people went for the less expensive product......I'm waiting for the brown fancy sample in the mail now.....
