Welcome! The car is beautiful, and a bucket seat with console to boot! One question... is the front rocket emblem upside down for a reason

Thanks for the comment, and respect the emblem of the rocket has been invested very observant, but I would not change it because it was so when I bought the car jaja .- Maybe someday turn it up .-

If truth brings the speedometer in kilometers, because when I knew it was probably manufactured for export .-

Re: 1968 TORONADO FROM ARGENTINA
Hello
I attached some photos of a trip I made here in Argentina in the Olds 68.
I commented that he has not stopped working air conditioning control. Days ago was wrong.
Another thing that does not work is the original clock.
Everything else at the moment works wonders.
Could you tell me how to know which is the original color of exterior paint?
Thanks and regards

Re: 1968 TORONADO FROM ARGENTINA
Fabio,
Great looking car!! Under the paint code it says F2. Not sure what the F color refers to, but that would be the paint color for your car. I am pretty sure the "2" means black vinyl roof, which your car has.
Under trim your tag says 090. I think these are black seats -- bucket? I couldn't see your pictures from your earlier link, so if you could repost some pictures of the car interior, that would be great!
Gracias!
Tim

1968 General Motors paint code "F" is Island Teal Metallic. 68 only colour from what I gather.
Cheers, Jim
