Special order colors available for 69 Chevy's??
In spring of 69 Buick offered a color called Fireglow Orange that isn't listed on paint chip charts.
Does anyone know if Chevy did something similar by offering a special order color, something you would have to stumble on in old factory literature? Thanks, Tom

Any GM color was availble as a special order... as a matter of fact SCW is restoring a nutmeg Nova...

Re: Special order colors available for 69 Chevy's??
Hi Tom,
Imagine seeing you here!!! I personally know of a '69 442 W-30 that was painted in Chevy Rally Green. I also know that currently Ford has DSO colors (Dealer Special Option). Only requirement for this is that they have an order for at least 5 of a certain color and pay the necessary dollars to do it. I would assume that the General had something going on like that for fleet and special orders back in the day. I will see if I can tap some of my resources for vintage colors to see if anything pops up!!!

Thanks for answering.
Maybe I should be more specific as to what we're trying to do. We are building a 69 COPO Chevelle for my brother, and we want to paint it a color you don't see very often, something that will stand out among a bunch of red,blue,black,silver car's. Not looking for a bright color to stand out, something more subtle like a brown,champagne,gold, or???? Anyone have a picture of a Champagne 69 Chevelle?

Hi Tom,
Diego lurks around over here too, and he's big on that kind of trivia. Maybe he'll see this and comment.

That would look good.. Champagne is a 69 Camaro color... there was a post about a Champagne 69 COPO Camaro a week or so ago.

Champagne is also a 69 Buick color.
Most of the Camaro and Buick colors are the same except Camaro also had the bright colors - 71, 72, 79, & 76.

Buick called it Champagne Mist.
I posted this earlier on a similar theme. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat...true#Post318216 |
