I believe that they were the same color black as the rockers, more of
a satin than a flat. You can look on Dale's site
www.chevellestuff.com for some pics of 68 Elky's.

I'm getting down to the details on the restoration of the '68 El
Camino now. A long time ago, I painted the lower section of the car
(below the chrome line) black. Prior to this, the car only had it's
stock paint job on it.
The valance that sits on the bottom of the grill, and just under the
front bumper iss painted black. I was thinking that years ago, I
must have painted that black, and it was originally body
color. Upon further inspection, it appears that it may have
originally been black. I can't find any body color under the black
on it. Can anyone confirm that these were (flat black?) black on 68
Chevelles and El Camino's from the factory? I was all set to paint
it body color, but now I'm thinking that this would be
incorrect. Thanks for the help.
