on my 68 ChevyII, I am repainting the interior which is blue (737). My question is what color is the strip of metal at the base of the rear window supposed to be? My car is Tuxedo black with the blue interior and was sprayed black inside by another owner. I think the strip should be black but not sure. This is the long strip between the speaker tray and the bottom of window. Thanks.

I know that the 1968's had the inside door frame painted interior color. I know that the metal on the inside rear window should be painted the interior color in low gloss. It this another 1968 difference. When would the strip be painted black vs interior color? Thanks, Greg R.

What is the letter code on the top line of the trim tag way to the right of the date code on your car?

Greg, It's possibile that it could be body color. 68
s are a different breed. I just don't remember seeing one body color though. Where's Ray M., or Tommy K. I've got a 68 rat holed, but it's not close enough to go check on. Maybe it's like the rocker curtains. Tommy, can you find any body color if you sand it down? |

I got a great shot of Ray M's from last years nationals. I generally do not take pictures of the packtray. But this is a 3/4 exterior shot that clearly shows the rear window metal as interior blue. Greg R.

I'll try to get over to Cronkleton's to look at his L78 nova. It's built around the same time as Ray's but has rocker curtains. We'll get to the bottom of this yet.

Greg, I have A "B" on the trim tag. Schonye, I have blue paint around the speaker holes but haven't gotten under the paint at the rear window yet. I am trying to post the PPG paint info for 68. I forgot I had it, maybe it will help some.

I know thats not a very clear scan, sorry. Looks like 737 is listed twice both times being dark blue poly, once in A low gloss and the other "0" gloss. Looks like my dash uses both low and zero gloss and from what I can tell the area in question at the rear window is also blue "0" gloss.
