I have a 1973 Duster with the Parchment Metallic seat covers which are basically white. The door panels are also Parchment, the dash and steering column is Dark Parchment. The 1972 dated carpet (which I threw away 15 years ago) was kind of goldish but not sure if it was original to the car. The package tray was covered in household carpet. I'm trying to order the correct carpet color and package tray color.
My choices on package tray colors are: tan, dark brown, or black. I'm thinking tan. Which would it have been?
My choices on carpet color are: parchment, medium parchment, saddle, light saddle, medium/light saddle,medium saddle, dark saddle, black. I'm thinking the Medium Parchment to go with the dash and steering column. Which would it have been?
Any help is appreciated. Dave

I just sold my low mileage 73 Duster a year ago,and it had the Parchment interior-all original.The door panels and seats were the sparkly pearlescent looking off white,the dash,and column was an odd beige tone-probably the same as yours,and the package tray was the same.The carpet in my car was a medium brown shade,cut pile

I have a 73 Dart with a Metallic Parchment interior also. If you look very close you'll seen there are green tones in the dash pad and even in the carpet, as well as the painted surfaces. I had a local paint supply place match some paint for these surfaces, then sent a sample to Just Dashes where they mixed the dye to the same color. I have all the information here some where if you need/want it on the colors I used for the dye, paint ,and carpet. Good luck!

I went with the #34 Fawn Sandlewood as it best matched my sample of the original I took from under the sill plate. The package tray I painted with the same paint I used for the dash. If you need the paint code I can provide that also. I have a picture of th einterior some where I'll try to find it and post it later.

I had a good dash pad, just redyed it. I think BE&A have the best quality pad from what I have been reading.
