Default Trunk interior colors

Howdy folks - First off, were all the 61 trunk interiors painted the same off white color and secondly, if so does anyone have the correct paint number for them? Thanks and still trying to stay warm in Oregon.

I believe the interior color in the trunk stopped at some point during the 1960 model year, with later cars having exterior body color in the trunk. The NCRS 1961-1962 judging guide will have the answer.

They started painting the trunk the exterior color early in the 1959 model year.

Also the trunk mat and the cardboard divider behind the seats was matching color to the interior.

Hey - Thanks to all for the information. The trunk was indeed painted the exterior color on the 61's. So Roman Red it will be. Thanks again.

in judging guide it says

Trunk compartment area is painted exterior body color. Check for over restoration of paint
Fiberglass should be somewhat rougher than exterior body fiberglass.
