62 Hood Release/Parking brake release lettering

[Anthony P.]

The JM states that the lettering on the hood release and Parking brake release handles is WHITE.

Were they always White?

The reason I ask is the lettering on these 2 handles on my May 62 car are black. I do not see any sign of white, even where the black is chipped away, and it does not look like it was ever painted, but could have been years ago.

Thanks,

Tony

Corvette Central offers repro in both white or black lettering....some of the other suppliers white only...maybe 62 team leader will have some info on this subject.
