Hi, Paul,
A couple of years ago at the California Imperial Meet
at Yosemite, I saw a 65 Crown sedan with a Black Plum
interior. It was not in the show, but parked nearby
with a for sale sign on it. Closer inspection
revealed it had been repainted Ivory over its original
Black Plum paint. What a shame.
My 66 LeBaron is Deep Plum, my favorite from that
year's color palette. At first glance it is the same
color as Black Plum, but there is actually a slight
difference. The '65 is ever so slightly darker.
