I guess I've been calling them the wrong name this whole time. Goes to show you are never too young or old to be stupid!

As an example, same color mirror, same color trim, same basic light, different color car and different result.....Also a door handle which is what started all this.

Finially, my Toronado's. I got the Turbo style which were different. They came in two sizes, these smaller ones were called baby toronado's. Period speed gear.


thanks for the pictures thought my vision was failing me

ah the elusive handle!! ... would you say it's closer in shade to the mirror or the trim?

The door handles match the rest of the vehicle trim. The molded mirrors are the odd ducks. Intrestingly, no one really ever asks about the rear hatch latches. I've known those to always be the blacker color like the garnish on the rear quarter windows, even on 79's. I suppose it better matched the darker tinted glass around the back.
