The door panels look like late 68 because they have both door pulls, the cut hole in the panel and the pull. The color looks like my saddle. Hugh

Revi, Thank you for posting the tobacco interior photo. It really is a unique color and darker than I thought. Lou.

...that photo is NOT of a tobacco interior. It is Orange, also a '68 optional interior color. Tobacco was such a dark Brown in color, in pics it would look Black. Trust me. I've probably checked out more '68 Corvettes than a lot of people have checked Corvettes of all years.

Dark Orange, to be specific. And, I didn't remember that color at all. Yep. It is lighter than Tobacco. And the carpeting is much different than what came with Tobacco interior.

I wonder how many green cars were ordered with Dark Orange interiors?
