Point is if I was restoring one in the last 40 years I might have used that as a reference point and gone silver.
Dash pictured is of a Kingswood, other pictures in the brochure show Kingswood door trims. This is typical of car manufacturer advertising, using higher spec models.

Read the red outlined green box in the brochure, all brochures have this type of disclaimer.

Brochure pictures should never be used as resources for a specific model restoration project as they cannot be relied upon for accurate representation. A perfect example is the HZ Sandman brochure that pictures a retro fitted Absinth Yellow HX Sandman, you would think HZ Sandman’s came with The silver GTS dash.
