That won't last long!

Hmmm?

I wonder if the inside trunk color denotes an exterior color change at some point or was the green paint treatment something Dodge did to all cars this year? 

[58L-Y8]

I did too, but the door jams are also maroon, Earl Shieb color changes never include the door jams.   A gray or olive paint may have been standard for all those Mopar bodies.   Taking the additional time and materials to color match the trunk lid underside and trunk interior may have been deemed not worth the expense.   Will have to remember to check other original Mopars to confirm that was the case.

I had a '48 Chrysler and the inside of the trunk was that same green color -- I think it was a standard thing, probably to save money as 58L suggests.

No pics of under the hood. 

If that is the original color then the firewall should be the same. Most of the time when a car is painted a different color the firewall is NOT changed to match the new color.

Also, I see green overspray on the trunk lid weatherstrip so I think there was some "touching up" done.
