Default 1982 Interior Color

Can anyone tell me, based on the trim plate inside the driver door, what color the original interior is?
C 09A 122637
131 19L 19U
Chevrolet

I have had no luck getting an answer. From my research it has to be either silver green or silver grey.

I believe silver gray cloth is coded 13C, but Bowling Green used an I for some reason, so it could look like 131 . . .code 132 is silver gray leather. Should look nice with black!

I've had several C3s, but all pre-BG . . . I'm sure other more knowledgeable will chime in . . .

Thanks for the reply. Original seats are leather. Wanting to replace the carpet to match the original. Dont want black, its hot enough inside the car in the summer without black attracting the heat even more!

Looks like 13I to me rather than 131 as the ones are all the same in the other locations. There were a lot of special combinations in 1982 and it was possible to order non-standard colors also. Good luck in your search!

13I is the Silver Gray (also called Slate Gray) interior.

A trim tag marked 13I could be either leather or cloth, 81 and 82 Bowling Green trim tags didn't differentiate between leather or cloth. The 13C and 132 were strictly for ordering purposes. Order carpet for the silver gray interior, and you'll get the correct color carpet.

You already got the right answer a few times it seems, but I post this site whenever I can, it has never steered me wrong.

Bowling Green car, 13l Silver Gray Leather.
