Over on the AOAI forum a question arose about the colors of stock carpets.
One member said that all early Avantis (up to a 46XX serial no)
had salt & pepper (or tuxedo) carpet. The later cars had all black.
Is that accurate?
If the cars originally came with S&P, and a car has fawn dash/upper door panels/headliner and black seats...what would the carpet colors be?
Some think the carpet colors would be fawn & black, i.e. matching the interior colors...
others think the carpet colors would be matched to exterior paint colors so the carpet would be (black & red, black & turquoise, etc.)?
Any idea which is correct?
Thanks...
