The actual name of the color as I have read it is Black Coffee, which, as all of us coffee drinkers know, is a very dark brown. However, to the eye of almost anyone out there, it's a black truck. ?
I thought I would share this email from Dave Natale at AITM.

This is a 1978 catalog and it mentions the garbage truck. I guess they were going to try and revive the project. So how about that Coca Cola trash truck? lol. I know the wooden master is still out there, but it was never turned into a kit.
