Would you believe....this was actually a production/assembly line color....

Stunning car and gorgeous colour. Lovely clean work.

Thanks all for the comments.  Glad you liked the color    I do agree that the color worked surprisingly well given the body design and ornamentation back in the day.   Having watched paint color trends over the years in my 1/1 scale career, I think I can say with a great deal of certainty that a color like Dubonnet Metallic, if offered in today's marketplace, would be Dead on Arrival.  

Kinda sad, but true...TIM

I’m afraid your right.

unfortunately, I think we’re going to have to settle for black, white, red, maybe a shade of dark blue, and four different shades of metallic gray for the foreseeable future.
