General Lee Interior Pictures Wanted:

[Captain D]

Hi guys,

In my GL, I have all saddle tan interior (automatic on the steering column). The only things that are black include: the dash bezels, door locks, and seat-belts. However, just to help break things up a tad, I've been toying with the idea of going with black carpet. I feel that it would still blend in with my subtle black touches. Just out of curiosity, does anyone have the same fixture just to help me get a visual to see how it may look, by chance? What I am hoping to view is: saddle tan everywhere, automatic on the column, black dash bezels, and black carpet. If anyone happens to have this particular color combo in your Charger, I'd love to be able to see it.

Thanks for lookin!'

I've seen a few cars done this way, and in my opinion, it does not look good. If you like the idea then go for it. I know they did the cars like this towards the end of the series. Of course then it was the really light tan, not saddle tan. I don't have any pictures though.

This one has black floor mats so if you squint and use your imagination...

This video shows a fairly dark carpet - but it also has SE wood grain on the dash:

Here's a similar combo on a new Charger but the contrast remains the same:

I have black carpet in my light tan interior General Lee, like you could see in a few of the later episodes (I just watched a few Coy and Vance season 5 episodes and noticed it on one of the episodes).   I think it looks good, and is accurate.  I will snap a few pictures the next time I am at my shop

Update:

Hello all,

I realize it's been awhile (and that the pics are huge), but I recently swapped out my gold carpet for black in my GL replica. The next image is of my new floor mats (please disregard the temporary yellow tag still attached). Thanks for looking!

Looks good

Thanks man for checking out the pics! I tended to struggle which color floor mats to go with. Seeing how I was going to have them 'custom made,' I knew that they were going to be bigger vs., say, standard Walmart mats. So, if I went with gray for instance - I was going to have a lot of gray flooring. Anyhow, I finally opted for the black with white border which compliments the dash and it all tends to go together.

Thanks again and in the meantime I'll figure out how to reduce image size, lol...

I like the two tone.

[Captain D]

Yeah, when I had 'everything' in tan / gold - it was rather much (even though I realize that some GL's were like that on the show). But, I agree, the black against the tan gives a nice contrast & actually helps to bring out the tan overall. When I had re-watched some of the later episodes & the fairly recent Auto-Trader commercial, I knew that I had to go with the tan and black carpet two-tone color combo, lol...

Two more (jumbo, lol) pics as I try to show more of the interior,  :

Part of the reason why I went with the white gauges is because I have black lettering against a white background on the column shifter as well, so the big white gauges and black lettering matched / compliment each other as if it all actually came from factory. Thanks again for looking all!
