Thanks for posting up the info Mike. I'm still curious what a Burnished saddle painted car with a buckskin vinyl top & all black interior would look like... I can see two of the three colors going together but the black interior kinda throws everything off. You would think the original owner would of ordered the vinyl top black to match the black interior or kept the interior brown to match the burnished saddle paint or ordered the interior in buckskin to match the top. Even though I dig the black interior I don't think it matches the rest of the car... IMO. Im all for keeping the car original but in my mind i just cant see it all going together. Does anyone on here have the same color scheme... Burnished saddle paint, buckskin top & black interior so I can see what it looks like?

thanks
Marty

 

Is this burnished saddle with buckskin?

Welcome! 68's are great!

 

Marty --

Nice find. Look forward to seeing the progress

I'm in SoCal as well and have a 66 GS

FYI, looks like you have the original BILL MURPHY BUICK" dealer plate frames on the car. Should you decide you don't want these please let me know (I'd keep em!)

Best,
Mark

 

Marty,

Any progress to report? :Brow:
