That's why I love this site! Thanks every body. That pic of the caps really helps, but I'll look at the one at NAPA and report back if it's the right one after all.

Thanks again.

Yes, I KNOW the car is not the right paint, but it's not bad, is it? GM Teal metalllic (the old Camaro color from gen 3).

The car's Paint Code is given on a STICKER on the right outside of the glove box, believe it or not.

It's:

Paint Scheme H

Trim Code 96 (funny looking "6", might be a lower-case "b"...

ALSO, a paint code is on the side of the glove box on a piece of masking tape, printed by hand. It is:

Paint Code B 8099 ALT 1

That may be for the new incorrect paint-- or for the interior paint?

The firewall looks like the same non-metallic medium blue as the top and trunk of our old '55 Clipper.

The VIN is 5492-7662

SO I need to figure out what that's all about, even before I put it in the registry. (Sorry Oz, but I need to get more details and a couple better pics).
And say, I finally figured out your crazy Avatar when I had to type it-- Aussie Stat Man indeed.
