Butch Leal '63 Impala

Does anyone know what color Butch Leal's 1963 Impala SS "Suddenly II" was?  All I can find is black and white photos and, well, they're no help. 🙂

Thanks...

Ditzler 12711
Monaco Blue Poly.
 

 

There's a die cast model of this car. If you can find a pic that would verify it.

Thanks, Ron.

Here's a little more. Looks like Decals By Lucas is defunct.

For others who are watching: Poly=Polychromatic=Metallic (paint).

BTW, ALL 50 1963 Impala Z-11s were base Impalas, NOT Super Sports.

Plus, the Leal car most likely had a standard bench interior. Not 2-tone but it might've appeared that way.

If you need, i'll hunt down the thread where someone posted a 5-6 page magazine article with engine builder Bill Thomas (Cheetah) and Larry Leal in the same pics.

MCW has a correct Z-11 interior tub. There is a new owner now, but I’m sure a “Model Car World” search will send you in the right direction.

I’m pretty sure (Bruce) SMP Decals has the correct decals to build this car.

Yup on the SMP decals and MCW Z-11 tub (I have both) Monaco blue metallic is available from MCW #6301 also. On sale yet! I think it`s the spray can but not sure. Wish I could get his paint here in Canada!
