Question. Does anyone know what the original colors were for gear shifter and turn signal knobs? Mine are both cracked (I have the other half of the turn signal) and obviously very faded. I can't tell if they were originally blue like the rest of the interior, or if they were always a bit of a green tint. The plastic on my armrests are pretty much the same greenish color, but the plastic is also super old and brittle, so not sure if the color just leaches out over time.

On that note, anyone know if the '54 Clippers ever had ivory steering wheels? I'm planning on painting it the same color as the dash, but ivory might look okay....

You can see the difference in color based on parts that were exposed to the sun. I plan on using epoxy to repair these
