[FC] 1963 Greenbrier Interior Paint Colors

[Kent Sullivan]

Greg (and others), you can order a compilation of Corvair 95 (all years)
paint codes (in and out) from Corvanatics for hardly the cost of the
paper... The web site has details. If you are under a deadline I can email
you the codes off list.

The switchover was in May, I think.

Subject: [FC] 1963 Greenbrier Interior Paint Colors


Hello all,

I have a 1963 Greenbrier deluxe with the "red" and white interior, custom
upholster, door panels, etc.  I have some parts I want to do some repainting
of (seat legs, etc.) and am looking for the paint code and/or formula for
this stuff.  I have the paint color chart for the vans and trucks but the
only "red" they list for an interior color is Cardinal Red, which shows to
be the same Cardinal Red as used on exteriors of trucks and the "stripe" on
white two-tone vans and trucks.  However, my interior color is a much more
orange-red than what I think Cardinal Red is, and I know my interior is
original.  Can anyone shed any light on this?  For what it's worth, my van
is an "early" 1963 model, built in April 1963 at the Flint plant (engine
code and date markings on the back of the upholstery panels) and my paint
code chart is from October 1962.

As an aside, does anyone know when the switchover to "late" FC's took place
in 1963?  Thanks,

Greg Hanlin
