Over the years of building my 68 Chrysler, I’ve had SO many different visions and ideas. As I’ve gotten just a little older and have a better appreciation for these cars, I find myself wanting something almost stock still but not quite.
The move now is converting the shell of my New Yorker into a 300, and yes it’s too late because I already have all the stuff including a front clip for it!
As much as many of you love the PP1 scorch red, I just can’t truly bring myself to loving that color on this car. However, after many years of thinking and having the wife’s approval on a color (geez it feels weird to be married, still not use to saying “wife”) - I feel pretty dead set on DD1 blue!! At least, I’m pretty darn sure it’s the color I’ve seen on so many of our cars before…
Here’s a random Newport I saw on FB for sale in Europe recently. Sorry, don’t know who it belongs to (looks pretty sweet tho eh?). Reason I stole these pics is cause I want that EXACT color on my 300 clone.
Is there any paint company who makes this exact color? Obviously I know the original paint was some sort of lacquer / single stage and times have changed. However, as close to this as I could get would be awesome. Trying to see if anyone else has re-sprayed their car in this color? I can imagine it now, blue body with a white top. She’d be sharp! Sitting atop my 15x7 Cragars and thin whites. It will be my ultimate sled
