Greg, It's possibile that it could be body color. 68
s are a different breed. I just don't remember seeing one body color though. Where's Ray M., or Tommy K. I've got a 68 rat holed, but it's not close enough to go check on. Maybe it's like the rocker curtains.
Tommy, can you find any body color if you sand it down?

Schonyenko2;

I got a great shot of Ray M's from last years nationals. I generally do not take pictures of the packtray. But this is a 3/4 exterior shot that clearly shows the rear window metal as interior blue.

I'll try to get over to Cronkleton's to look at his L78 nova. It's built around the same time as Ray's but has rocker curtains. We'll get to the bottom of this yet.

I didn't think about the build date till you mentioned Ray's and the other 68. My build date is 07B which I think is the same week as ray's.

Greg, I have A "B" on the trim tag. Schonye, I have blue paint around the speaker holes but haven't gotten under the paint at the rear window yet. I am trying to post the PPG paint info for 68. I forgot I had it, maybe it will help some.

I know thats not a very clear scan, sorry. Looks like 737 is listed twice both times being dark blue poly, once in A low gloss and the other "0" gloss. Looks like my dash uses both low and zero gloss and from what I can tell the area in question at the rear window is also blue "0" gloss.

I got up to where I've got my 68 stored and checked it. It's an original Tripoli tourquise car, bench seat, 307 glide. O 3 A build. It has the rear area painted low gloss black.

And here's Ray's car. I zoomed this from a larger picture so the quality isn't the best, but you can tell the piece in question is in fact <font color="blue">Blue. </font>
