Longbox55 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 If you're into old Chevrolet vehicles, here's a few that are good recourses; http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits.html No better source for option lists and color availability, as well as color callouts for trim and interior that the folks that built them. Covers Chevrolet from 1913-2006, plus some Oldsmobile and Cadillac models. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/index.htm This one is mainly pre-1960 Chevrolet shop manuals, but is still an excellent source for checking the details that a brochure will not show you. This site also has Owners manuals 1929-1960 as well as manuals for individual units (radio, A/C, carburetors, fuel injection) and a couple for the military specific 1942 Chevrolet trucks. http://pc.dupont.com/hcl/?locale=en_US DuPont Historical Color Library. Has scans of original DuPont color chips for most GM vehicles 1929-2007. Also has paint chips and codes for other brands that used DuPont paint, including Ford, Chrysler, Studebaker, Kaiser, Hudson, Nash, Willys, and AMC, plus big trucks and imports. Very interesting site. I've browsed it, there's plenty of unusual paint codes that were low production/seasonal that do not show up in other listings as being available, plus, with a little searching, you can cross reference the codes to find what colors were used under different names in different years/brands. http://pugetsoundvintagechevrolet.org/Programs/6%20cylinder%20engines%20with%20photos.pdfFor those building 1937-1962 Chevrolets with a 6 cylinder, this is a very good source for the differences in the engines. http://1954advance-design.com/Web%20images/PPIP/PPIP-1912-1966-EngineColors.html Chevrolet engine colors, 1912-1966.
