1969 wheelcover paint colors--white????

["Tony Fortner" <keith_f79@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey John,


      As the present owner of one 69 Imperial, and two others in the past, I 
do believe that your hubcaps are, in deed, supposed to be painted white in 
the background. According to my dealer brochure the hubcaps are color keyed 
to the interior of the car. I am not certain of this, but every 69 I have 
seen has followed that pattern. My 69 coupe has black interior and black 
background caps, A friend's 69 had brown interior and his caps were brown. I 
hope this helped you as that is all the information I can give as of right 
now.

                                              Good Luck,
                                                Tony (Imp6971)
