Does anyone own or has seen a 72 chevelle with the yellow code 56 color? That is the original color of my 72 SS that we are restoring for my son and we are trying to decide whether to go back original or not.

It is an original 350/2 barrel, manual floor shift (not sure if 3sp or 4sp) with a bench seat. yellow exterior with black interior.

The color creme yellow - here is a link to a scan of a color chip chart for 1972 Chevrolets - http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/search/searchpic.pl?1967-chevrolet-pg01.jpg

elcamino 72, thanks for the post! It helps allot. Now I am trying to find a picture of one. is this a rare color or has everyone done a color change?

My Malibu has the original paint and is that color yellow.
Not sure how rare it is

As I recall, yellow was one of the most popular colours for '71 (considering all manufacturers); silver was most popular for '72, medium metallic red was 1973's most popular colour. I don't know what that all means today, but I never remember seeing too many Chevelles in that soft yellow offered in 1972. I have seen a '72 SS454 convertible from Forida in a few magazines. Did you want me to send a scan of it?

Here are pictures of my car taken in 1977 after I had owned it about a year.

cream yellow was a one year only color.I sent you a e-mail of mine did you get it? graemlins/waving.gif

George, yes I did and thanks! Your car looks awesome. By the way, I just bought a set of 15 X 8 corvette rally's for mine. Is that what I see in the picture? I like the one year only color so cream yellow is the decision!

Yes they are 15x8's with P255-60's BF Goodrich tires.

Yes I had one I restored and sold for big bucks. Very rare color for chevelles.
