Thanks

Thanks Don,
Went to your link for 6ty9, looks good. I'm hoping to find some examples of cars (not chips) in the colors 55 Azure Turquioise; 53 Glacier Blue; and in 71-2, 25 Mediterranean Blue. If you here of anyone with these colors would appreciated knowing where.

Thanks again, kid

kid - I believe one of our members - "Daytona_Jeff" I think ??? - has an Azure Turquoise 69. However, I also recall his picture link does look very much like Blue (a little deceiving possibly). Do a search and check out his pic.

kid - maybe send Jeff an email and he could possibly forward you some other pictures. He's one of the good guys in here and would be happy to help. Just a thought.

Just to answer your first question, LeMans blue was the color also used on Corvettes in 69.
