my 2 cents,, Canadian cars are body color, GTO's and the like where 60% gloss black.

I 'beleive' body color is correct.

maybe I'll get educated ,,,let the expert 's chime in.

The last three body tags I took pictures of on SD cars were a 66 and 67 then also a 69 Custom. The firewalls were all black.  Original? I don't know.

Having said that the firewall on the cherry 66 Laurentian I shot was body colour.

I forget about 68. Either 68 or 69 was transition year to black. 67 or older certainly is body colour though for firewall at least.

So what is the consensus Beaumont experts, should the firewall on a 68 be black then?
