Default Interior interior questions

Have a 65 convertible with blue/white interior. What color should the covers for the top bows (behind the door latch pillar) be? Blue or white? What about the sun visors?
I have seen these parts both ways on different cars.

And lastly were the seat backs a solid color plastic all the way thru or were they painted from the factory? I have some paint off of my seat backs and they seem to be painted over black plastic.

Rich, bows and visors same color as the seats. Can't help on the back of the seats, mine in the 67 are leather. Bill.

Pretty sure the top bow covers were seat color, whatever that is, as well as the sunvisors. The seat backs were definitely one color all the way through. The white over black are reproduction replacements.

I believe the colors are correct in this pic.

Default Leather seat backs?

Hey Bill,

Where did you get leather seat backs for your 67? Sounds good, not original but the original seat backs are cheesie looking anyway!
