mredjr Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Does anyone have a color picture or know what color Arlen Vanke's 62 Pontiac was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) His '62 Pontiac was Silver w/ Blue interior. Here is an article of the car, http://www.hotrod.com/articles/hppp-1210-1962-pontiac-super-duty-catalina/ Edited January 11, 2017 by Mike Chernecki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mredjr Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 I am sorry I did not make it clear I am looking for the 2 door HT car that he ran S/S. That was a red car but I have seen an article that said it was bright red, someone in another article said it was Mandalay red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Is this the one? It would be Mandalay Red same code as Chevy Roman Red, the only solid red for 1962, the other red is a metallic being Honduras Maroon(Chevy) / Garnet Mist(Pontiac).

mredjr Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Yes that is the color I am going to use I think it would have beed a factory color and that is the only red on the chart. I remember my neighbor bought a 62 Grand Prix brand new and it was bright red and that color is not even on the chart so it must have been a special order. I was only 11 years old in 62 but I remember that car well. Thanks for your help. Elvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I own a 1962 Nova convertible black on red. Parts of the interior are painted Roman Red (Mandalay Red) and yes it is a bright red as in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mredjr Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 No I had a Roman red 63 Chevy and it is not the same color as the Mandalay red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hmm, odd as they are the exact same paint code along with olds Tampico red and Buick Cardinal red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mredjr Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 You are right Mike but I just did not think Arlen Vanke's car was that color, maybe so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
