Hi all,

If you're looking for factory color combos, I saw this on 442bro.com the paint section

http://www.442bro.com/

Would be neat to have something like this on this site, wouldn't you think?

Either way do what you like, weather it's factory, 2-tone or custom, I  personally saw a black and silver split a the body line/top of fenders/sail panels that I thought was sharp, especially with a red interior.

Years ago 20+ I got a pictures of one that someone painted up like a 70 SuperBee, had Super Buick on the logo, orange with black spoilers, all I could say was what were they thinking, but to each their own, after all its their car.

My post car I hope to be midnight blue with white inside the halo, I have a light blue interior, one day hopefully soon....it was originally sliver with blue interior.

Regards,

Thanks for the website. I once had a midnight blue car (diplomatic blue) i think it was called on 83 monte carlo and everyone love it, looked black in the night.

Ronnie, do a search for 1965 Skylark or Skylark Gran Sport and click on the images that come up. One is a really nice yellow with a black top but many other great colors pop up.

Dear Ronnie, Robert, Jim, and mid-60 Buick color collectors,

If you have a burgundy, any green or yellow, or Gold please post


. . . Remember, you are askin' for it! . . .   :laughing7:

Here is my trusty wagon in her resplendent "Seafoam green."



If you look carefully, there is a slight different between the paint overall and immediately around the front edge of the driver's side door.  This was just after I had some dings painted out.  The body shop simply ordered the stock color and applied that.  It was noticeable because the repainted area had no wax.  A later picture shows that the area is essentially invisible.



So you shouldn't be afraid to order the stock 1965 colors so long as it is reputable company. 

Speaking of the 1965 Buick greens, there are also a number of serious fans of "Verde Green" on this forum.  You might have to poke a little, but it shouldn't be too hard to get photos of Buicks in that color posted here.

Come on' guys?  What excuse you do need to post photos of your favorite Buick?  . . .   :hello2:

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Thanks Tony, I put a lot of effort into my car since we first met.
I'm retiring the end of this month and I will have some extra time to attend the Buick Club meetings.
See you soon.
Robert

Hello Folks

Factory black with red Interior. Originally with white soft top but is currently black.

Not a GS but not too bad on the eyes (I think).

My first GS was black 2dr HT with red interior a long time ago.

I sold it to help buy my first house but I think of it often.

Your picture makes it all come back again.

Thanks for the memory.

Im going in a different direction from the Diplomat Blue (code WW) on the 64. Im going Cobalt Blue with clear on top. It looked cruddy until the clear, then it popped! The OEM "WW" almost looked black. Gotta do something to brighten her up! Of course when ya pop the hood, theres gonna be a substantial WOW factor!  ws

Nothing comes alive like a 455 !
