<VV> Color My Vair -- Update GM, no Corvair

[Frank DuVal]

Yes, My 1970 Buick Estate Wagon was ordered painted in a Rivera only 
color. The data plate says:

Paint:   SPEC

instead of 26 like it whould on the Rivera. It also has a white top, 
code 10 (and originally woodgrain decals).

One thing you might consider is to find out whether Fisher Body used 911 in some other make or model.  If you ever did decide to repaint the car, it might be worth it to be careful in stripping to see if any trace of the original paint is underneath the current color.
