Looked at two nice early cars and both had black front/rear trunks (the cars were not black cars!). My cars are all later models and the trunks are body color. Were the trunks on the cars I looked at painted black for some reason or was there a change?
I tried a search but could not get a pertinent result. |

I didn't think so. Two cars had that...I thought that was wrong.

I have seen a few NE cars that had dealer undercoat in the lower part of the front and rear trunks, but if the entire truck is flat black, that is a real good indicator that it's a color change.
