Subject: IML: mystery paint color, please
help if you can
Hi All,
Here
is my dilemma, I had always thought my car color for my 59 Imperial was
"copper spice". The person I bought it from (second owner) thought that was
the color name. After looking at color samples of copper spice I wonderer why
it did not look like the color of my car. Copper spice had an orangey brown
color to it, when my car looks like a shiny penny. After receiving my factory
specs letter from Chrysler historical foundation, I found that the color was
"Fiesta copper" which I thought explained the mystery, but now I find no such
color is to be found (no listing from 1959 to 1963). Was this a special order
color that were so few that it never got documented? Can anyone shed any light
on this? I do believe that the car was custom ordered by an Imperial salesman
that worked at a dealer in Philadelphia (first owner). Please, if anyone could
help, my only recourse is to get the inside truck lid scanned by a paint shop,
but I would prefer the original paint #. Thanks to the few that replied the
last time I posted this. Painting will start as soon as I can get the correct
color.
