Fold-down Hinge-to-Body Finish
« on: March 30, 2022, 05:02:36 PM »
I know the Fastback fold-down hinge-to-body is common to many years but the finish may not be.
I should have noted the original finish before I media blasted them, but . . .

Is the hinge the color of the interior (my first guess) like the rest of the fold-down metal?

My 69 fold down seat brackets were the color of the interior color.

Interior color on the hinge is typical.

Appears to depend on what year your car is but in the case of 67's at least the ones I've seen matched the interior painted surfaces. Don't know that I've seen hinges from every interior color combination as of yet
