    my 70sportwagon "babe" is still wearing her original shade of blue. the firewall tag very bottom line is 12A if i read it right. can anyone tell me what shade of blue this is? :Dou:

    in 70 the choices were :
    # 20 azure blue(kinda sky blue
    #25 Gulfstream blue (mid blue)
    #26 Stratomist blue (mid to darker)
    #26 Diplomat blue (dark)
    I think you misread the line because there is no code 12 A (which A would have been a white top)I believe the 12 A is the build time 1st week in december.

    Read the numbers directly to the left of "PNT" You are reading the Time built code.

    I believe Pat had a typo up there...paint code 28 is Diplomat Blue. You can check all of them out at www.autocolorlibrary.com .

    thanks for the help. after looking at the chips my car must have been repainted. stratomist looks a lot closer than diplomat. happy holidays one and all
