Joe's Garage is correct. Originally the 69-72 window cranks were clear. The plastic with UV light disintegrated the material and turned it a golden color. I've seen the varying degree of color change in some original cars. The GM replacements were clear but have long been discontinued. If you can find them, expect to pay big bucks as this was a common problem.
