All of the '57 '58 Plymouths I have
owned, from rustbuckets to nice cars, probably a dezen in all (I know, not
nearly as many as most of you folks) have had gray paint, not black, on the
inner trunk lid. All the cars I bought had been sitting for 25+ years when
I get them, and appear to have been original paint, so for someone to go to the
trouble of changing the inner trunk paint color seems unlikely. I've never
seen an actual original paint car with a black inner trunk. . .

I have a 1958
red/white Plymouth Belvedere and the inside lid of my trunk is black as
well. Someone on this list years ago had started a discussion about this
as it seemed everyones trunk lid was black on the inside. Several
knowledgeable persons determined that most, if not all, trunk lids were
indeed factory black on the inside. After all, not everyone on this list
has had their trunk replaced.!.

Isn't the black paint on the inner trunk a bit
odd?

I have a red-and-white '58
Dodge Royal sedan with black pain on the inner trunk, as the eBay
Dodge does. I've always wondered about it, haven't found anyone to
tell me anything. I was assured by the seller that, though the
exterior of the car had been repainted, all paint colors are the
original ones. The black under the lid had never been touched. I
thought that perhaps the lid had been replaced, but the car doesn't
look to ever have been in an accident -- an d it's a D500 car, and the
lid has the D500 emblem, pot metal very corroded, on it.
