[SCG] Re: 64 vair

[Kent Sullivan]

I think you can tell that Light Fawn was used in cars (like the Corvair)
because it has a darker counterpart (Medium), which was needed to do the
doors vs. dash difference. The other colors used Medium & Dark; Fawn appears
to have used Light and Medium.
 
I am not 100% certain of this.
 
It's interesting that flat black is listed as not being Corvair even though
gloss black is. Does that mean Corvair used gloss black only on cars with
black interior paint?

OK, if I put all the letter codes in the Ditzler paint chart, it looks like
this:  Is it correct?

The Ditzler chart says Ivory is not used on Corvair, so is code Q really for
ivory?

The only car I know of with code Q is Smitty's "Grape" which has White
painted interior with dark red dash.  Could the Ditzler chart be wrong about
Ivory?  

 

Are you saying that F is the code for Light Fawn as well as for Medium Fawn?
How would they tell which one to use?

Here is a Word file I made once which contains the paint codes for 1964
interiors.  I took the information off the paint chip chart I mentioned
below.  It does not reference the single letter codes used on the body
plates, but we are generally able to translate those codes.  For instance,
we know that:
 
A=medium Aqua Poly. (12533)
B=Medium Blue Poly (12531)
E=Black (9248)
F=Fawn (but I'm not sure which one)
Q=Ivory (8259)
 
I am still looking for the rest of the letter codes
 
I have also attached my database (Excel file) of Corvair VINs, body Tags,
and options.  I am always looking to add to this file.  Of course, it would
be better to put it in a true database file, but that has to wait until we
get the SCG database up and running.
