Interior colour question for 82
Are slate and silver-grey the same colour? The Black Book lists my interior colour as silver-grey. Many of the parts catalogues for repro parts list the colour as slate. I need some interior pieces but don't want to end up with the wrong colour. Thanks.

Yes, from my experience they are the same color.
Silver Gray is the correct name for the interior, that is what GM called it. Besides Slate, I've seen it listed as just "Gray" in some parts suppliers catalogs. I'm not sure where the Slate name came from, but from what I've seen, you should be ok ordering either, as long as it's listed for an 82. To be sure, ask your vendor to confirm that the gray they're selling is 1982 Trim Code 132.
81's built at Bowling Green were also available with the Silver Gray Interior. St. Louis 81's were offered with a silver interior also, but it was more of a pure silver color. It was very similar to the 78 Pace Car's trim, though slightly darker.
