Interior Trim Colors

The data plate on my 70 Cutlass Conv. lists the exterior as 75 - Matador Red, the Top color as A - White, and the Interior Trim as 977. I assume this to be either white or pearl white but can't find a list to set it straight. Does anybody have this info? And if I get a Boot to cover the top when down, it should match the interior color, right? Thanks - Ken Helsby

The 1974 parts book shows 1969-72 code 977 is Parchment/Ivory vinyl bucket seats in Supreme series. Boot generally matches interior, though I have seen them matched to the car color.

Glenn,
Thanks. But then why when I look at available colors for seat covers, etc in catalogs like Year One and Fusick, can't I find Parchment or Ivory as an avilable color for my year car? It only lists Pearl. Very confusing. - Ken

If the door panels are still with the car, match the seats to those. If you don't have them or they're beyond using, I think you can use the pearl white trim. Plus sometimes the factory used different material for the same trim color in different years.
I go by the factory literature more than I do a supplier's catalog, but YO and Fusick are as good as you'll find for Oldsmobile reproduction stuff. Legendary and PUI make the majority of repro interior kits anyway.
Contact SMS Auto Fabrics http://www.smsautofabrics.com and give them your trim code. They'll send you a small swatch of what the car is supposed to have.
