Since Fathom Blue was discontinued in January 1968, it was only available as Special order. LOS cowl tags still used the old codes, so my tag is PAINT E-E

It doesn't show on a shipper but if you have a Body Broadcast Copy it will show in box 109 what the color of the wheel was from the factory. X would be for standard silver paint but the attached example shows A for Tuxedo Black and this was on a black '67 Z.

I have a 69 Z that had the original spare seperated from the car several years ago on ebay. Before I owned the car. I would do about anything to have that spare back in the car. Tire looked like it had never been on the road. I would never put it on and it would be like candy for the trunk to me. I do know where the spare went but will never get a chance to put it back in the car

I would paint your other wheels Fathom Blue as that is probably how the car came. Cool !

The other 4 wheels on the car were painted black at some point, I rubbed through the layers and started black, then primer or silver, then blue, then bare metal. I would think black primer would be under the blue, maybe I rubbed right through it. [IMG] ![]()

If the wheels were painted body color, then they should have black under the blue.

The car was painted silver a long time ago, but not a very complete color change, plenty of Fathom Blue around door panels, trunk edge, etc. so easy to fix. So the wheels were probably painted black at that time, I guess. The cowl was painted black over the white on top, but white still shows in some areas.
