To all interested. There is a good article on Tom Mitchell's red 58 Belveder convertible with 350 Golden Commando and dual fours, in the March 1999 edition of "Mopar Collector's Guide". Glenn. PS If anyone else is calling the guy at PPG that Dave mentioned (See below), I could use the correct paint codes for the exterior, and also for the dashboard for my 57 Fury. (I don't imagine this guy wants 250 Forward Lookers calling him up.) Thanks in advance. Here's one that may help y'all out. My friend Dave's dad is a Vice President over at PPG. I've helped him out with his computer a few times, and he owed me some favors. Therefore, he gave us access to the PPG Color Library in Strongsville, OH. They'll be able to match any of their old formulas to their equivalent modern ones. Their number is 440-572-6100. It'll help if you have the old paint code out of a parts book when you call (they won't know what colors came on a '57 Fury, but can match it if you give them their own code number) If needed, drop the name "Valentino Buttignol" (pronounced "BOOT-in-yawl") as the person who told you to call there. -Dave Stragand
