Can anyone suggest how to find the original paint color, interior etc used for my 1974 Eldorado convertible?

I am still learning how to navigate this forum. How do I respond thank you to Bruce the Tassie Devil for his suggestion on cleaning the hood crest ?

G'day Bob,

Good to hear that the cleaning worked.

As for the original paint, that should be marked on the Vehicle ID plate.   The one that is Aluminium, and attached to the top of the Firewall Cowl, just in front of the Windscreen.

It will have either numbers or letters for "Paint" and the next thing will be the "Top" colour.

Under all this will be the Accessories listing.
