It's hard to tell from the 1969 brochure that this was even done, since the photo car used is black, but the print advertisements show a few other car colors (among them bronze and gold) and the bronze one has the color-keyed wheel covers clearly shown. In the PR photos there is a white car with a black vinyl top and it wears wheel covers with black paint. Does anyone have a 1969 parts book or data guide (showroom album) explaining this feature?

My 69 had the wheel covers matching the vinyl roof colour, but my 75 has only chrome and black. When did they stop the colouring of the wheelcovers?

If the roof was a different color, painted or vinyl covered, it was likely possible to have them match that color. When the car is a solid color, I am not aware of any wheel covers coming from the factory that did not match that color.

While getting some parts off a '64 Lebaron that was Persian White and Black Top, same as my Crown Coupehttp://photos.aaca.org/showphoto.php?photo=9480&size=big&password=&sort=1&cat= 518,I notice that the centers of the wheelcovers on the Lebaron were white while on my Crown they are black. I saw a dark green car with light green centers. What determined what the color of the wheelcover centers would be?http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1964/MarkShaffer/index.htm________________________________________________________________________Check out the new AOL.
