NPD sells a couple of colors of blue, which is it?  Is it DARK blue, or just medium blue?

Interior code is 2B (Blue)

I don't remember exactly what it looked like 30 yrs ago

Anybody?

I am not 100% sure but I would say dark blue. My son has a 68 coupe that had the 2B two tone blue Int. ,it now has a black interior. I looked on his build sheet but does not call out the carpet color. I remember seeing a dealer book that had samples of the headliner, seats  and carpet. I can't remember who it was. Marty

I've got a 67 two tone blue deluxe interior.  While medium and dark are subjective, I would lean towards medium.  Since a picture is worth a thousand words, see the picture below.  Not sure though if there would have been a change to 68. John

Here are 2 interiors with different carpet.  One is medium blue and one is dark blue

Isn't there a book showing a cross reference somewhere to the 2B interior?

I'm surprised this answer is debatable.

The answer is indeed debatable... I have an early 68 convertible built Jan 6 1968 at Metuchen, NJ. When I bought the car in 2004, it had the original carpeting. It was dark blue. When I went to replace the carpeting, there was no dark blue offering at any of the major Mustang parts places, just the medium "Ford" blue. Puzzled, I contacted the MCA head judge via email and asked him the question. He replied that dark blue very well could have been the original carpet color and Ford was on strike when my vehcile was built, and they could have used leftover 1967 dark blue carpet (among other possible leftover 67 parts) just to complete the build.

Most 68's with 2B interior have the medium "Ford" blue carpet, but some indeed exist with factory installed dark blue leftover 67 carpet.
