Re: Strange color combination
I know it's in my books but was Hugger Orange with green guts even possible on the order form?

Re: Strange color combination
I recently sold my -69 Nova. It was an Olympic Gold car with light green interior.

Re: Strange color combination
No doubt Bill. And this was a case of it as the color and trim sheet lists the choices of black and white interiors only. Orange houndstooth was obviously next to come.
That car must have been the product of a bunch of workers having fun.

Re: Strange color combination
Hate to say, but, other than Ander's Nova, none of those combos sound real funky or unusual.
Dozen 69's in Silver with Red guts in the db. 15 Gold with dk green guts. Black with tan guts is still available today! I have to say I think almost any non-black interior is cool/different/interesting.

Re: Strange color combination
A customer could get nearly ANY interior color he wanted back then.Just like the exterior paint schemes,those interior color choices in the dealer albums were merely popular recommended suggestions,not "Mandatory take it or leave it decisions".

Re: Strange color combination
Silver with red guts was a common color combo in Mercedes. Many Gullwing cars were that way in the 50's.

Re: Strange color combination
A guy in our club here has an '80 Z/28 Black with Silver vinyl interior. He's the original owner. Disco Rules!

Re: Strange color combination
Just remembered I had a Silver 79 Z-28 with Carmine (Red) Guts. That was a while ago.
