Default White interior question

There's a 65 vert for sale that was born with the black vinyl interior, STD. Someone installed white seat covers and white door panels.

If a 65 was ordered with a white interior from the factory, are there other interior components that would be white colored as well?

If it had a hardtop ordered, I think the headliner would be white w/white moulding. If it was a coupe, everything in the back area including the headliner would be white except carpet. Dennis

Sun visors?

On my 65 convertible, it was Nassau blue with white interior. As mentioned, the seat covers, door panels, console and seat backs were all white, as well as the sun visors. My top did have blue headliner, however.

your headliner and all of your trim should also be white. The consul would not be painted white. The armrest between the seats would be white. The console would be blue along with your carpets and your dash pads.

My error - console was not white, only armrest. Headliner was indeed blue, but I had no history of previous ownership, so it very well might have been a replacement.

The soft top hinge cover panels are white as well and 1/2 of the rear of the latch area

it’s hard to believe how many people forget to paint half of that flange. Or they forget to paint the inside of the cp doors

A lot of great information, and thank you for all the pics!

Would all of the above listed white pieces still be true for a '64 as well?
