The C300 info regarding the 1955 cars is correct, but the 300B (and to my knowledge all Detroit built Chryslers) for 1956 had body color on the firewall, core support and inner fenders.  The Los Angeles cars had black inner fenders and core support, but the firewall was body color.  Also on the under side of the hoods on 1956 examples were also body color.
