Guest Rob J Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Is this Champagne Mist, Shell Beige, or Sahara Mist. Kind of hard to tell. Looks good IMO either way.

Guest Rob J Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Based on this, 1965 Buick Riviera Paint Codesit looks like Champagne Mist to me. Hard to be sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Opening the color chart in a shrunken window and moving each color right beside the picture of the car, my guess is Champagne Mist. Since the pics were taken in bright sunlight, we may never know for sure.I am always amazed at some of the so called perfect cars being sold by Auto Collections. The car doesn't even have wheel centers. :confused:Interestingly no where in the ad does it say numbers matching. They chose a creative mix of words when describing the car that leaves the door open to some degree of uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersix Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 It appears to be Champagne Mist. It looks metallic to me and Sahara Mist has too much of a red/orange cast. Shell Beige is non-metallic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gee_Rydes Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) I sprayed a Riv Champagne Mist and this is what it looks like to me. Has a slight olive tint to it when cloudy outside but a great metallic champagne when in the sunlight. I think Sahara is browner and beige is flatter.I am almost 99% certain on this one.

I tried searching for it's sale price, with no luck.Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965rivgs Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Champagne Mist...had a small emblem GS with a white standard interior in this color years ago-very striking and against white the champagne color really comes "up". I like it against saddle too! Wonder what ever happened to that car???? :confused: Tom Mooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried searching for it's sale price, with no luck.Rob.Judging by the prices of their other cars for sale, a lot. They're asking 45K for a 67 Skylark GS400 so that's a starting point, should be north of that number I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerRivFan Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Looks like Champagne Mist to me too. Here's a few photos of a Champagne Mist with Saddle interior car...Love the Champagne Mist, just was never a fan of the saddle interior though. Not enough contrast to make the champagne color pop imho. I think a white interior like Tom's old car would be cool though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottie Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 The Auto Collections had this car for sale for over a 100k. The car was advertised in Hemmings and was for sale for about 1 year before the Barret Jackson auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
