[SCG] Mapping '65 Interior Colors to Interior Surfaces

[Kent Sullivan]

David,

 

Nice job converting the table to plain text! All: you need to view the table
with a fixed-width font for it to display correctly. I have formatted it
thusly in my reply. Not sure if the formatting will survive as it passed
through the mailing list server. Guess we'll see!

Subject: [SCG] Mapping '65 Interior Colors to Interior Surfaces

 

 

Hello - I just purchased my first Corvair right before Christmas and have a
question regarding correct interior color. I've verified via the body tag
that the car - a '65 Monza 110 4-speed convertible - has a Fawn interior and
Cypress Green exterior. This tells me the upholstery is Fawn but does not
tell me much about the various painted interior surfaces which are darker
than the upholstery (a sort of bronze/brown).

 

While researching the issue I found the chart "Table 3: Map of Interior
Paint Codes to Paint Color Names" at the following link:

 

http://www.corvairkid.com/66codes.htm

 

This info has been very helpful but is specific to 1966. I was wondering if
the "Surface" locations indentified in the first column of the table apply
to 1965 cars as well. I had purchased a copy of the 65-69 "Service News &
Technical Bulletins" from Clark's (item C6962) which contains the "1965
Refinish Paint Chart" so I'm able to map 1965 interior paint codes to paint
color names. I'm hoping it's just a matter of plugging the 1965 codes/names
into the 1966 table as follows:

The question is do the 1965 colors map to the same interior surface
locations as in 1966?

 

Thanks,

Dave
