Topic: Interior Kit for 65 C-Code with Standard Interior

[65Arcadian]

For a 65 C-code Arcadian blue convertible with a standard interior ("white with blue accents"), what should be white and what should be blue?  I assume that the carpet and dash pad should be blue, and everything else should be white, but I thought I would check with the experts.  My car is a Dearborn car produced in June of '65.

I am thinking about buying the interior kit from CJ Pony Parts (and get the Ford tooling dash pad), along with a steering wheel.  They are having another sale, this time with up to 30% savings, so I might take advantage of the lower prices now. Thoughts?

As always, thanks for your help and advice.

Everything white except:

-Dash pad, speaker grille and long moldings
-Carpet and seat belts

I ordered the interior kit for "white with blue appointments" for a 65 standard interior convertible. The carpet arrived and is darker than I thought it would be.  It looks nice, but I just want to make sure it's the right color.

At the time I ordered it, there seemed to be a question about "dark blue" versus "Ford blue" and the rep at the time said "dark blue" was correct for a 65.  When I called back today, another rep said that "Ford blue" would be correct for a 65 and when the dash pad arrives, I should compare the carpet to it.

I would appreciate any help I could get sorting this out. 

Here's the data plate information:

"Ford" blue would be correct.
