I recently purchased an aftermarket console for my 67 Conv project. Obviously it comes all black. My question is were these painted originally? The car is (going to be) Coronado Gold with a gold interior which was the original color. Just not sure if the console should be gold also. thanks

IIRC the 67s were painted matching color with black camera grain on top?? but i could easily be wrong

thanks. I've seen them all different ways: Painted all gold, gold sides with black top, all black. I'm not doing a "restoration" more of a "rebuild". But I'd like to stick more toward the original side of things. Thanks again

Now that looks familiar. grin Yes, gold on gold is correct.

Coronado is a beautiful color! You will enjoy that. Look through my photobucket if you want more pictures.


I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
