Originality / window crank

« on: November 23, 2009, 01:05:34 AM »

   
   I hope someone can help me.
   I have a 1968 Camaro that I bought from the original owner in 1976. It was ordered with RPO-730 parchment/black deluxe interior.
   The window cranks have chrome metal knobs. The pattern on the knob matches that of the pattern on the base of the crank arm: and the knob is riveted on.
   The window crank arm is stamped #5719477.
    I have always assumed they were aftermarket knobs riveted on to GM cranks.

    My question is - Did GM ever offer on '68 Camaros (or any other of their models prior to 1976) window cranks with chrome metal knobs? Or did I assume correctly?
    Thanx

Originality / pearl ivory or parchment??

   Hi
   I hope someone can help me.
   I own a 1968 camaro coupe with "deluxe" interior. The color is RPO-730 "parchment"
   My question is; what is this "pearl" or "pearl/parchment" that I'm seeing in the restoration market houses? Is this the same color as RPO-730 "parchment" or is it RPO-711 "ivory" or a different hue all together??
