Default 68 Gauges

Are the 68 gauges white or green.

I was wondering as I saw one in a 68 that had fresh green silked numbers

I was told 68 were white and 69 to 72 were green

They look white to me,....

take your pick, same 1968 car...{13092}









edit, Ok I can see that there is a "slight" hint of green in the color of the guages as opposed to a 'bright' white color.

100% green.........or they were replaced. It's a very light green that looks 'more green' at night under the dash lights or when side by side w/ he white ones.
