Here's a familiar picture from the Chevrolet '68 Chevelle brochure showing an SS396 convertible:

Compared to the 1968 paint code sheet, I can't tell what paint color it is. The hue is closest to Butternut, but it cannot possibly be Butternut. It also doesn't appear to be Ash Gold because Ash Gold (Paint code 'GG') has more green in it than the picture shows.

Does anyone know what the true color is on this Chevelle?

The only thing I can tell for sure is that the interior is 'Medium Gold Vinyl'.

The pic is Ash Gold, the chip ain't even close. The color is just a littel more toned downin real life than on the picture car.

Ash Gold for sure - my parents had a '68 in that color. They sold it 2 years later because they didn't like the color and bought one in that light metallic green color - some improvement...
