I know it's early...
« on: May 26, 2016, 11:50:43 PM »
But I'm just looking at pics to see what color I might want to go with. Not sure if I want to keep the red.

Are these stock colors for 65 Specials and Skylarks?

I have the 65 paint card here, and the Astro Blue Poly seems to have a little metal flake in it.  It has a nice sheen it the sunlight.

The 'official' color is Astro Blue Poly. Poly is the Buick secret code for metallic. Nice color.

Hi,

Here's a few of the same color both 64 colors, definitely different than the normal red

Dear George, Dr., Dan, Jim, and mid-60s Buick "exterior decorators,"

Just as an FYI, my wagon is the Buick seafoam green:



Here is another angle.



Cheers, Edouard

Not sure but it looks like about a 71. I don't know him, just parked by them on the Power Tour.

I think I like that color better. Either that, or, the Seafoam  Green; that way I can do a tan top. Is it a real pain to keep a white top clean?

Can you post some pics of your dash? Is it blue or black?
