My 1970 Maverick Is White With A Dark Red Interior, Except The Tray Under The Dash, Which Is Black. I Have Seen Dozens Of Mavericks And Owned Three Myself, And Every Tray That I Remember Was Black. Are They Supposed To Be Painted Or Dyed To Match The Interior? Thanks, Stuart
my 70 and 71 are both black but then i've got black interiors so i didn't think anything of it. i don't remember seeing any other than black myself.
Good Question I have been paying attention to that detail myself. I am about to change the interior color on a '69.5 from light gold to blue. I have found black and other colors matching the interior. The tray itself seems to be black, but ther front edge can be a different color. Seth
They only come in black. The front edge is a different color if is has the LDO trim piece snapped on the front. It's interesting that the two blue dash tray pictures posted by Seth (littleredtoy) are both out of a 1969 1/2 car. I would be curious how they ended up blue.
LDO huh? I didn't realize that the LDO package had a piece on the lower dash that was different. The first pic is probably a poor example to represent as original. Note the blue paint on the bright ashtray handle. They may have painted the entire dash. As for the LDO package. I thought those saddle brown buckets were original to the car in the pic. No black dash so assumedly not a Grabber/GT, but you see woodgrain door panels. Is that not the LDO appearance? I have a pic of an all black dash including the instrument panel, ala GT/Grabber. But I don't think the car is either. Edit: I can't find it. Perhaps it's not original. Seth
High-Back Bucket seats always came with deluxe door panels ... that is why that car has wood-grain panels ... All LDO's ... including 1972 LDO's .... had LDO buckets and LDO door panels. Also ... All LDO's ... including 1972 LDO's ... had 73-77 style armrests ...
I was hoping... .....for the interior in the '69 to favor this pic: I will have to check to see if the lower package tray can be made to look this way. The interior will be sort of medium blue metallic. I have not determined if I will use a blue or black steering wheel. I have a nice black steering wheel. I would have to dye/paint one to go blue. Interior upholstery kit will have to be modified for the back, fronts will work fine with the buckets that I have.
I have a perfect a/c under dash tray, but now i need a non a/c under dash tray. I am interested if you still have one. Let me know what kind of shape it is in and how much. Also, I no longer need the a/c tray, so if anyone is interested, let me know. Thanks, stuart
