=Green Interior 1968 El Camino SS=

[1972coronet]

I've been fiddling around with the AMT 1968 SS-396 El Camino on & off since it was reissued. I want to polish the white plastic, and paint the vinyl top and interior in matching colours -- and I may have to "go rogue" with my colour choice : Sage Green ! 

Is there a chance that a pale green was an optional colour for the interior and / or top for 1968?  If so, please provide a link or reference (photos would suffice).

Thanks !

No. This is one of my "go-tos" for Chevelle info. My boss has a 1970 SS454 HT that "had" a green interior (now black), so I suspect green as an interior choice came later than 1968.

OPG lists upholstery kits in light  and dark green for '69 Elcaminos but no green in '68. Closest color  is turquoise.

My first car was a 68 Malibu. By the time I got it in 78 is was kinda faded Ivory Gold. I remember the interior being kind of a greenish gold.

Ivory exterior with a grey/green CLOTH interior was an option on 68 Malibu's.

Hey, it's your model. Paint it the way YOU want. 

Say it's a "Day Two" deal. That frees you up to put whatever wheels/tires you want on it, too.

That's me plan at this point. I just suppose that I'm trapped by certain beliefs -- correct interior and vinyl top colours is one such belief. Ne'er-the-less, I shall forge-on and go with the green interior and top.

Thank you.

Thanks much. I'd initially desired to replicate a factory colour combo / availability; however , I'm going to go with a 'custom-but-stock-restoration' look.
