1955 Chrysler C-300 - Platinum - fvl
On my iMac this car looks a very delicate shade of light green. It's a
lovely colour but I thought they were only white, red, or black in 1955. Max "Paddy's Pig" > wrote in message ... > > > |

Max I've not been able to verify the color offerings available on a C-300 in '55 but I won't argue against white, red, or black. What I *will* argue about is the difinition of "white". What exactly is white? There must be a couple of hundred shades of white. I agree this particular "white" (they called it platinum) has a slight greenish cast to it. But I remember as a kid seeing exactly that shade on some new C-300's. I went to the Autocolor Library and found listings for all 1955 Chryslers. There was no separate listing for C-300's. All were lumped into one group. There does indeed appear to be a whitish-greenish shade offered by the factory that year. http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorli...ysler-pg01.jpg I was also able to locate a VERY poor quality factory picture of the C-300's and the one in the middle appears to possibly be a whitish green. I agree this is not conclusive but the word white should in some cases not be interpreted literally. -- Pat |

I'll add that I also recall seeing numerous '57 model 300's that were closer to what you'd call a pure white, although I believe they also had a tiny amount of black mixed in to cut down the brilliance level from snow white to merely white. -- Pat |

I agree. I guess I should simply have asked if anyone else was seeing the
same green cast on that car. If not, it's a setting on my iMac; if so, it's fine. I had a Nissan Maxima in pearl that had a definite green cast to it and it looked beautiful in the light. I was really asking about whether I was seeing what everyone else was also seeing. The iMac is so much brighter than my previous monitor and the colours are so much more vivid that I just wondered, that's all. max "Paddy's Pig" > wrote in message ... > "Max Magister" > wrote in message > ... > >> On my iMac this car looks a very delicate shade of light green.

I remember that one, thinking that if I was going to show my car I'd at
least clean the mud off the whitewalls. But now I see the same green cast so I'm pretty sure that my computer's set properly and I'm seeing the colours that I'm supposed to see.

I vaguely recall it raining before this show in Placentia. He probably hit a
mud hole in that park - maybe even getting stuck with the mud covering the whole whitewall - and didn't have access to a hose out there. -- Z~ On 12-Dec-2009, "Max Magister" > wrote: > I remember that one, thinking that if I was going to show my car I'd at > least clean the mud off the whitewalls.
