1967 Window crank handle knob color

[John P.]

I am attempting to complete restoration on my 1967 coupe with teal interior. I purchased an origional set of crank handles (#5719477 and
#5719481) however the knobs appear to be a dark navy blue. The color does not appear correct for my interior. The only blue interior colors for 1967 are Bright blue and Teal (dark) blue. My interior components are a lot lighter than these knobs. If anyone has a 1967 with teal interior, would it be possible to post a picture for comparison? Thank you all in advance for any and all help. John

John,
Here is a picture of the interior of my 67 teal interior that shows the knobs. I believe these are original to the car (35k on the car now). Until I read your post I never really noticed the color. I will tell you that Jim Gessner (big time C2 guy) told me that nobody makes reproductions with the right color. Hope this picture helps you. Tell me about your car. Color, engine, convertible etc.

Hello John, Thank you so much for the picture. The knobs on your window cranks are also darker, however seem to have a green tint. Mine are origional but look dark navy without the green tint. I will have to find another car with teal interior and have a look. My car is a 1967 Elkhart Blue Coupe with Teal interior and teal hood stinger. I really like your color combination and would guess it is somewhat rare. Again thank you very much for your response. John Pelkofer

John,
To answer question on color, the pic is a little deceiving. They are darker then the surrounding interior but to me are a true teal blue color. On color combo, I have been told there may be 2 other cars with this color. Who knows? I know you don't see them every day. Combined with being a complete no option car, (verified by tank sticker on tank) it might be the only one like this. I enjoy it, and thats what matters! Wondering if you were any where near Southern California. You would be more then welcome to compare your knobs to the ones in my car.
