1950 Buick (Need Factory Color Name)

[Guest 1950Buick]

Can anyone identify the factory name of the lower color on this '50 Riviera? I can't find it in any '50 Buick color charts. It could be a carry over from '49. Thanks.

You might try looking around on this link. I didn't see anything in 1950 or 1949.

Thanks. The color is not listed anywhere on Auto Color Library (www.tcpglobal.com) and unfortunately their small scans have illegible text.

I have a 1950 factory colors and fabric book and I dont see any color similar to the picture.

Do you have the trim tag on the firewall ? What are the numbers ?

[Guest 1950Buick]

No. The image was an original factory press photo from 1950. It also appeared in the August 1995 issue of Collectible Automobile magazine.

The color does bear a stiking resemblence to "Carib Coral" (a Pontiac color) except for the fact that the paint on the Buick looks more metallic.

Could you be so kind as to list all the two-tone combinations for 1950? I have only seen partial lists online. Thanks.

It sure appears that the car had been lowered. It even appears to be a TAD lower in the rear.
