Model year 1975
1975 Corvette Interior Colors and Trim Codes
Six interior colours were offered for 1975, and this is the year the trim code format changed to carry a letter for the material. Below is every code, the exterior colours each was suggested with, and how to read it.
1975 interior trim codes
| Interior colour | Vinyl | Leather |
|---|---|---|
| Silver | 14V | 142 |
| Black | 19V | 192 |
| Dark Blue | 26V | 262 |
| Neutral | 60V | not offered |
| Medium Saddle | 65V | 652 |
| Dark Red | 73V | 732 |
How to read your trim code
From 1975 the trim code carries a letter that tells you the material at a glance. A code ending in V is vinyl and one ending in C is cloth, while an all-numeric code ending in 2 is leather. So 19V and 192 are the same black, one in vinyl and one in leather. Read the code off the trim tag riveted to the driver's side of the body, just inside the door opening, alongside the paint code. It is the only surviving evidence of what the car originally had once the seats have been recovered.
What each 1975 interior came with
This is the same factory chart the 1975 colour page carries, turned round. That page starts from the paint and tells you what could go inside. This one starts from the trim code, which is the way round you need when you have read the tag and want to know whether the car left the factory in the combination it wears now.

Seats and trim in 1975
1975 is the first year of the lettered trim codes, which makes a 1975 tag easier to read than a 1974 one. It is also the last convertible year until 1986, so this is the last interior chart in the run that has to account for a soft top.
The interior chart for every model year from 1968 to 1982 is on the C3 interior trim page. The exterior paint codes for this year, with how many cars wore each colour, are on the 1975 colour page, and the full option list is on the 1975 specifications page.
