Is this an original color from 1966?

Isn't Goldie saddle bronze?

Yes Goldie is Saddle bronze. I love the color, bronze gold or reddish gold is how I always describe it.

This picture on a cloudy day and is a really good representation of the saddle bronze.

The other consideration is that the colour may vary slightly from the original due to changes in formulation over the years and different paint types from the old Lacquer and Enamel to modern water based formulations.

It's beautiful EXCEPT the wheels.

I agree. maybe 16 or 17 inch wheels at the most might look o k . those look to be 20 or more. I am old school when it comes to wheels and tires but I have to admit some of the newer wheel tire combos look fine on some c bodies.

I guess if you have to have mags, have something you could have put on it when new.

Just keep in mind that those paint chip charts are not very accurate representations of the actual colors.

WTF is the attraction of putting on wheels like that on a beautiful classic car.
And the answer is not, " because they are cool looking and I like them".
Give me a valid reason.

Broke the honda... now stuck with Grandma's old car and wanted it to be "cool" whilst saving to continue destroying a formerly reliable honda.

When I typed "you" referring to wheels I was not referring to you individually, rather a generic "you" meaning if someone has to have mags choose a period mag not a modern mag. As alwas our cars just have to please us nobody else.
