Default C3 Door Panel Question

Is it true the Corvette used the same design door panel from 70 - 76?

Thanks,

I looked at 4 venders, 2 list through 1975 and 2 through 1976. So the answer is ?

Actually, the 69 deluxe are different from the 70-76. They have the comfort weave inserts. I think you're right about the '76. If memory seves me correct they had teak?

77 panels will interchange, but didn't have the line of fake stitching at the top edge. 77 Deluxe inserts were black instead of woodgrain. 70-76 panels should be the same.
