Title: color usages for '68, '71, '77 Eldorados
Post by: Jim Skelly, CLC #15958 on August 23, 2007, 07:50:13 PM
Since I just answered a question about colors on a 1970 deVille, I was wondering if someone has the 1969, 1972, and 1978 Data Books and can look up the percentages of each of my Eldorados:

1968 Eldorado #26 Emperor Blue
1971 Eldorado #69 Clove (I'd like percentages for both the Eldo coupe and convertible since I'd be interested in getting another)
1977 Eldorado #90 Cerulean Blue Firemist

Thank you very much!

 The color useage for the previous year is not included for many years in these books. I was able to find 1968 code 26 (69 color-Athenian blue) Eldorado 3.7%, 1971 code 69 (72 color Cognac) eldo coupe 4.9% conv 3.3% , but nothing in 78 Merchandising Guide (data book w/color& up. samples).Warren

Warren,
Thank you so much for the information!  I apologize for the delay in responding, but I'm on vacation and this is the first time I've been on this site since posting my request.
