I was thinking that my maroon coupe would look good with white interior. All the pictures of white interior cars I see are white seats and door pannels with the remainder black. Is that how they all came or is it just the way people have been adding white interiors to their cars?

Finally I see listings for standard door panels and deluxe panels but have not been able to see pictures of the standard panel. All the pictures I can find look just like mine. The entire thing is molded in one piece with chrome "race track" trim and no carpeting or soft vinyl coverings of any kind. Look just like the $100k+ cars on the internet.

What really started all this is I am not real happy with the carpet or the door panels and will change them out at some time.

Thanks................:w
 
I have a bright blue interior, but was thinking about changing it to white/blue. Here is a photo of a car with white doors, seats, and parking brake cover. I think this is correct. While I like the look, I'm not sure if I want to keep it original or not. Not a big deal yto change back either.

I think the white interiors came either white/black or white/base color. By base color I mean white/red on a red car or white/blue on a blue car.

As far as the door panels "standard" and "deluxe" designate how complete the panel is. Standard panels do not have the race track and some other piece of trim. You have to swap parts from your old panel. Deluxe comes complete ready to install.

At least this is my understanding.

The two-tone interior cars had the white on the door panels, seats, quarter trim panels, front pad on the deck lid, visors, and parking brake cover on convertibles, plus everything above the belt line on coupes (headliner and upper side moldings over the doors, upper windshield garnish molding, visors, halo panel, windshield pillars, upper half of the doors, rear window moldings, and the painted area above the rear compartment carpeting and below the rear window moldings.

No such thing as "standard" and "deluxe" midyear door trim panels - they were all the same; vendors sell replacements with those names depending on whether or not they have the "racetrack" trim already installed.
