Rob Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 was certain in 68,,went to darker green interiorQuite possible. I noticed several different shades of green interiors during the 60's in both the B, and R series. Didn't really seem to have rhyme or reason. Probably something to do with production runs. Still see it as color variances, or offsets in today's colors.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
