[SCG] 1960 Monza Interior

[Bill Hubbell]

For what it is worth, although Clark's did a great job providing me with a custom fit rear cardboard (package area) for my 1964 Monza sedan (Alice), the color was not quite right.  So I did paint all of the cardboard pieces using the same paint I used for the interior (doors, etc.). It is really not too hard to do if you have access to a paint gun and air compressor.

An update for those who were unable to assist with my request regarding 1960 Monza interior information but are interested nonetheless: I have done some rather exhaustive research and have been unable to locate any published information depicting photos of the Monza interior choices. I have located the 1960 paint codes used by Chevrolet for the exterior and interior in the October 1959 Chevrolet Service News. These Chevy color codes, with the exceptions of black, silver and red were changed for 1961 and one should be very wary of assuming that a 1961 color or trim code will correlate to 1960. Clark's Corvair did come through for me though and supplied a green vinyl (code 57B) which is very close to the original unfaded vinyl obtained from underneath the foundation trim. I also have reviewed the 1960 Dealer book with vinyl color samples for Corvair which are also close to the Clark's 57B color green. So, if you have a green interior, you do have an option other than HG, the on
 e size fits all 60-61 green metallic which is too blue in color and does not match the 1960 metallic green interior. However, because they do not have a matching cardboard, I had the vent/foot area and foundation cardboard covered in vinyl at extra expense. I considered painting the cardboard that Clark's sells but that costs extra too and may have new problems matching the vinyl. Total interior cost about $1700 with shipping.  I'll send photos when it arrives later this week.  If anyone wants my 61 color green Monza door panels, I'll make you a deal.
