windshield trim

[mike walker]

I have black windshield trim on my 73.5. Should it be silver?

[Sigurd]

Yes, it should be silver.

I'll second that, the only thing the should be black is the grill cover and rear deck letters, they might fade to grey over time.

front horn grills on 73models, too, (or Phil did mean that also..)

[mike walker]

The letters on the deck lid are black too? I've seen a lot of 73's with silver.

Mike, my deck lid letters looked silver, but when I took them off for the car's repainting they were black underneath. As Phil said, just 30+ years of fading I guess.

So all 72 and 73 letters are black from the factory? Dr Johnstons book says..all models S, E , T.

I've seen a 73.5 with black trim.......looked pretty original.

I'm just sayin'........

And the rims of the turn signal lenses went from silver to black...

Well let me just say this, there are not many absolutes when it comes to these cars. My 73 1/2 has a black deck grille and letters all the rest of trim is chrome, including horn grills which I know are not correct but they sure look nice.
