Re: [Chrysler300] What's for lunch?

Rich and all,

The color used on a few 1956 300B's (3 if my memory serves me) was "Geranium Red" which is slightly different than Tahitian Coral.  http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/aclchip.aspx?image=1956-chrysler-pg01.jpg

  I believe that Tahitian Coral was used on the late l956 300B according to paint chips and colors. Don Rook

  Keith:

  In 2001, a Mr. G. "Yourgun" Schrimp referred to that color as "supercharged
  Campbell's tomato soup". Lefty apparently chased down the "art and color"
  manager of Chrysler design to determine the source. What a guy. I hope he
  is over any writer's block he may have had and can be encouraged to again
  enlighten us on things we need to know-online and/or in print. 

  There is a 1958 color called Tahitian Coral--maybe also sourced in Gaugin's
  art? 

  I'm looking forward to Lefty's development of the forthcoming joint meet at
  Laguna Seca/Monterey. Little plastic Gaugin-inspired Tahitian Moon Ladies
  for our dashboards (with hula skirts, of course) would be a nice touch.

  C-300'ly,

  Re the Gauguin Red:

  My local mechanic tells me working on my 300C always makes him want to 
  go home and have Campbell's Tomato Soup for lunch - made with milk 
  instead of water.
