'60 Valiant Wagon - Trying to find interior color for rear storage area

60burban said

Hello Forum!
I'm in the process of restoring a 1960 V200 Suburban and I'm wondering if anyone on the forum might know what color the factory used to paint the inside of the tailgate and the rear storage compartment "hatches". The color looks like some sort of brown or tan color and it was the same on all wagons regardless of the exterior color. I have both dupont and ditzler paint chips as well as a color dupont index and none of these include that color.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Sincerely
Mark B.

Hey Hyper-Pak - is that the inside of a 61 & 62 Lancer wagon? I ask because the cargo floor 'board', grooved seat and shape of the rear windows look more like a 63-66 A body wagon. The floor of the cargo bay in my '63 Dart wagon has that big floor panel with dish and wing nut to hold it down on the spare underneath.

Mark, my 60 V200 wagon's floor looks way different. I have a multi-panel floor that folds down and covers the cargo area. I don't know what you mean by 'cargo hatches': other than the rear tire well, I don't have any cargo hatches in my wagon. The inside panel of my tailgate is painted the dove grey of the outside, and the panel matched. The rear cargo bay has plastic body panels that are red.

Don't know if that helps at all.
