FWIW the exception was B bodies. In 69 B bodies all had black 8 track shrouds. Every other A, F and G in 69 has the 8 track matching the dash-console color. I always figured that this was because the 69 B had an always black dash cluster bezel but perhaps it is related to their all being floor mounted 8 tracks (no console offered on 69 B bodies). Has anyone ever seen a floor mounted (no console car) 8 track that wasn't black on a 69 A, F or G?
I believe the all black 8 track thing on B bodies was a 69 thing because I've seen several 70 B bodies with colored 8 tracks.
