As I am getting close to redoing the seats and replacing the door panels, at least the driver side due to sun baking, I want to be sure I get the colors correct. Fender tag has the following code A6XW, which should decode to:  Trim - Basic, Vinyl Bucket Seats, Black/White. Am I understanding this correctly, white seats, black trim (door panels, interior panels, carpet, etc.)? Currently the interior trim is all black, the panels have been painted, evidenced by the flaking paint everywhere in the car, but I see no evidence of it ever having white trim panels. Thanks for the help!

Here's a 1970 H6XW interior, as far as I know the same would apply to a 73 as far as what's black and what's white.

Thank you. If that's the case, then the previous owner replaced all the interior plastic trim and headliner with black. I had seen some pictures showing only the seats being white in a '73, but wasn't sure if that was correct or not. Everything in my car is in excellent condition with the exception of the tops of the driver door panel. I may go the route of painting them, I've restored several dash pads over the years and had good luck with it.

A6XW has white seats, door and rear panels, and headliner. Carpets, and dash is black. The original white panels deteriorated badly. Easy fix was to replace with black panels which held up pretty well.
Black are the only panels that held up. All of the other colors flaked and turned to dust.
