Does anyone have any pictures of s chevelle in Plum Mist? I'm considering it for my 67 and I'd like to check it out.

I don,t have any pictures...But there is a Plum Mist 67 SS in my town with a Black vynl top. I really like 67s and that car is definatly STUNNINGLY beatiful to me. I don't think you would be disappointed!

Its just so hard to tell from small samples, it seems like it would look good though.

It is likley darker you might think...and the metalic must be the mist part smile.gif The metalic stands out in big time in that color...The iceing on the cake graemlins/thumbsup.gif

What would be the possibility of getting some pictures of that 67 in your area I am working on a 67 my self and have been leaning towards a dark purple with ghost flames i would really like to see that color thank for any help you can give

Sorry CAMBO, I have only seen the car one time and I did not get a chance to meet the owner. They dropped the car off at a Car Quest give away show...where they giveaway a Long Block 350, air compressor, and some other stuff. The car must not see to much daylight, I believe it is stored within a few miles of where I live and the Car Quest store that had the show. I do not know where the owner lives YET. I will keep my eyes open for it this summer. DAN

Thanks Dan
I hope you can see it again maybe with an amazing stroke of luck it will be at CB04

I think the picture he has listed as Royal Plum is the same color.

Plum Mist IS Royal Plum. It is a very deep dark purple with a light metallic. The closest common item in color found in your grocery store is an eggplant (yes, eggplant like in the produce aisle). I think it looks more like eggplant purple than plum purple - but I suppose that Eggplant Mist just wouldn't have the same cache.

I owned (since sold to a fellow Team Cheveller, Tuned By Tad)a '67 ElCamino that was originally Plum Mist. It was a red when I sold it, but Tad and Crystal plan on respraying it Plum Mist.

Actually, I think Plum Mist is more of a Lavender color and Royal Plum is more Burgundy. There might be a pic on RichL79's website.

I always thought that Royal Plum vs. Plum Mist was just marketing, the same way that Ermine White became Provincial White in Canada (the same colour). My '66 Canadian brochure lists Royal Plum (bet you thought it was a '67-only colour).
Here's a link to the brochure pic of a Malibu convertible: Plum Mist (http://www.chevelles.com/years/67/67cars.htm)

Yup, just marketing between Plum Mist and Royal Plum. There are many colors that GM has given multiple names to - but if the paint codes and formulas come back the same...then they are the same.

My '67 GTO is Plum Mist, Pontiac's name for what is Chevy's Royal Plum. There is a 1991 Ford color, code ER 6445 Dark Cranberry,that is so close to the GM Plums that I have used it as touchup paint on my car and it is available as 2 stage base coat/clear coat paint.

I must be truly gaffed, but every time I go for groceries and see a purple plum I think of '67 Chevies. They were only offered with black interiors with that colour unless white or a facesmile was available. Yes, Pontiac offered it as well, but not Olds or Buick.
