Did GM do this?
Check out the interior and exterior colors on this truck and tell, me would GM have sent one out of the factory looking like that?

Re: Did GM do this?
I am guessing maybe the Original Owner asked for a different option or so.

Re: Did GM do this?
It's a factory combo. I have seen it a couple of times.

Re: Did GM do this?
Why not? All the new owner had to do was check the boxes. I remember a burb in canada had a similar combo factory.

Re: Did GM do this?
According to the Truck Data Book I have for '69, there are suggested color and interior combos, but the ultimate choice of the buyer was what was done. Nowadays, GM has interior/exterior combos that you have to follow.
I'm thinking the majority of vehicles you see on the lots are ordered by someone at the dealerships who are doing their best to appeal to as many potential buyers as possible. Ditto back in the day, but buyers who were ordering their vehicle new, had some leeway even if they didn't have very good sense when it came to color combos. What I saw was some red, white and blue, on that truck.

Re: Did GM do this?
A point to ponder.
2012 silverado's only have three interior color options: Ebony, cashmere and titanium - basically black,tan and grey

Re: Did GM do this?
$3,500? Interior color be damned, that looks to be one heck of a good deal!

..."your choice of interior color" regardless of the exterior color....backs up what I wrote earlier. Thanks for the ad.

Re: Did GM do this?
In 1971 when I was 10 my dad bought a new Cheyenne SWB off the lot, the colors were Hugger orange with a blue interior, years later (maybe1999) I asked him why those colors? His reply was "I liked the those colors."

Re: Did GM do this?
GM didn't care back then as long as they were getting money. Heres my buddys 67 RS/SS Camaro that is factory Butternut Yellow with deluxe Turquoise bucket interior. He thought it was probably originaly a Turquoise car but I decoded the trim tag and right there it coded the above color combo.
