Interior New Versus Restored - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here's my interior new in 1970, then restored in 2015. Not really something you can directly compare digital to 40 year old polaroid, but still... I like the original blue shades better but the flash is pretty bright in the restored photo, that's a lot of it. And the original photo is indoors or at night, I should try that.

I think this also serves to illustrate my old argument that even though the service information says to paint the console body color (in this case), it's not exactly so when new, and matched the seats a lot better than the body color does. My console matches the column and wheel, the original matched the seats better.

Looks nice. I like the original a tad bit better. Both are NICE.
You have had this since new?

Very nice. Both pics look great, but I think I like the original slightly better. I'm surprised at how good that Polaroid looks lol. Is that a CB & 8-track in the original?

What happened to the CB and toaster?
