Re: [Chrysler300] paint code on a '66 300 hdtp

[Edward Mills Antique Tractors <millserat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Found the actual Chrysler Color Chips for 66 - they are in front of the 
same Chrysler Trim Book behind the New Yorker Tab - but names do not 
match chart which is adjacent to chips - anyway the Y is Sable Tan 
Metallic on chip and S is Frency Ivory but on Chart Y is Saddle Bronze 
and S is just plain Ivory
