: Is this original

I did not take this photo; this is not my car.
But the section I outline in red - on my car - is mulsanne blue, like the car's original colour.
The section I outline in green is mat black, like everything else under the hood.
How is it that most every restoration I have seen so far has the car's original colour in the green section and mine is black. I do admit to finding some black on one of the door hinges, but there was definitely no blue in the green section.
Did they just do things differently in Oshawa?
Was this question clear?

Oshawa did a lot of things differently then the US plants but theis is the only way I have ever found Chevelles that were US built. No exceptions.

John , My Oshawa built, (Nov 1971), 72 Chevelle was painted exactly like you described and I repainted the same way.
