Should the L shaped luggage rails be matched to the body color?
I have a 54 sedan (not convertable)

The back of the rear seat strip color?

Yes I have searched and noticed variations......

i dont think body color but interior accessory color , like steering column , seat frames , e brake handle color ....... i have a set with original paint in this add . but like my 51 the interior accessory/color is different from a 54 ...... i believe all the colors for parts are in the Archives here , look up your year .

It might vary depending on what the exterior colour of the car is but I'm seeing light beige crop up as the colour for the rails.
