Was going to look at a '61 Olds I found on craigslist. In seeing the pics I notice the firewall is white while the body is blue. It appears it's been repainted but was wondering if the firewall indicates the original color of the whole car? Below are a couple pics.

 

The body data plate will tell what color the car was originally. Get the PNT codes and run them thru autocolorlibrary.com or similar and you'll get the original color names.

 

Yes, the firewall should be the same color as the lower body color, in '61 "C" is "provincial white", "H" is "glacier blue".

My Starfire is all "C".
