Title: I know it's early...
Post by: Polishmeatballpizza 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?

Post by: Dr Frankenbuick on May 27, 2016, 09:03:41 AM: 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.

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

What color is the one next to yours?

Post by: GS66 on May 27, 2016, 06:30:12 PM: 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?

Thanks for posting photos of the interior of your Special. I've only seen the steering wheels of Deluxe Specials and was always curious to know what the steering wheels of the straight Specials were like. Okay, it perhaps isn't "deluxe" but it still looks very nice and functional!

Cheers, Edouard :occasion14:

Post by: cwmcobra on May 28, 2016, 06:51:42 AM: On behalf of John Evenson and myself, here's another original 65 GS color to consider.....Verde Green. I'm told it looks really good with Saddle top and interior. Mine will have white top and interior, however.

:cheers2:

Dash paint, pad, column, and wheel are all blue in our 66.

Could be Stratomist Blue from this (http://buicks.net/years/71/71paint.html) 71 color card.
