They say that this car has 32k miles one owner and all original, but something just don't look right to me . Thr rear panal around the tail lights looks body color am I right about this, as I thought thoes panals were a different color than the car. Help me out

To my knowledge the panel was a black or greyish colour.

Actually, that rear panel looks to be the correct color for a 73. It just doesn't stand out in the picture against the silver paint on the rest of the car.

Black or grayish --- grayish being closer to charcoal ---- that one doesn't

look correct to me.

it's a graphite-ish color.... and the one in that pic appears a bit too light

It could just be the odd lighting like Stephen alluded to. Notice the body colour is a blueish silver, whilst the rear panel has no blue in it. It's grey. It does look like it's too light though. If you're interested in it, ask for another picture! Or better yet, look at it in person.

It's not exactly a hi-res picture plus I blew it up a little. I still think it's the right colour with the effects the lighthing and quality of the picture making it appear to be lighter.

Add to that the fact that so many owners have theirs painted a darker than original color and it will of course seem way too light.

As stated above, lighting, resolution and other factors could conspire to alter it's appearance in the pic, but it looks considerably too light to my eyes in that picture.

I don't think a silver car would look too good with the charcoal (roughly) colored trim panels anyway.

That's funny, IMO the rear panel looks best on a silver car.

Different strokes for different folks.

Me seems to remember you HAD a silver car once upon a time Alfa...
