My 66 has black door lock knobs to match the black interior.

Original equipment was color coded to the interior color. My 66 Elky has goldish-tan to mate with the gold of the fawn interior. Chrome would be a repo part. I believe.

Color coded as far as I know.
I have the chrome 67 style lock knobs in my 66. I just like them better. :yes:

Thanks. I need a ferrule as one cracked and broke. So when looking for the ferules I noticed that they had both chrome and color coded knobs. I thought they should be color coded; but didn't know for sure.
Hate to pay shipping on a $.079 part, hopefully I can find one in the junk yard.

The ferules are clear plastic...makes them look a bit like the color of the painted door sill underneath.
James, I just looked and on Dale's Chevellestuff CD and he says SS were chrome and Malibu were color coded. Maybe he will chime in here. Mystery Mike's CD says either or on the SS.
Doing a little research the oldest catalog I found from Feb of 71 list 7583789 as chrome and for a 65-66 Caprice. It also list 7591126 as black and for a 66 chevelle (Sprt Cpe and El Camino).
Interested that it lists 7649291 green for 65 be lair, Impala (exc SS), 66 Chevelle (Sprt Cpe and Conv)and 65-66 Impala.
Also 7591129 blue for 66 Chevelle (exc. S.S.)
And 7591132 turquoise for 66 Chevelle and 66 belair.
And 7591132 red for a 66 chevelle.
All that I can make of this is depending upon interior color you may have got a color coordinated knob or a chrome knob, such as in the case of a blue.
I wonder if one might find some old colored photos for 66 chevelle SS where you can make out weather the knob is colored or chrome.
Len, I might add that on Dale's photo of a black interior with black exterior, that GM decal is not correct for 66, so maybe that knob has been changed.
