1936 Oldsmobile Body Tag Decoding-Information...

[philipj]

Would anyone be able to decode the body tag as to what was the original color of this vehicle as well as the interior finish?

Thank you for your help...

According to this chart it is called Glynden Green, which looks like an olive green... Not to be confused with Glyndon Green for Pontiac in 1937...

Could this 37 Pontiac be Glyndon Green? Though it is not the same paint code# the color sure looks like the chart... Actually a pretty decent color even with the current interior that I have, and I get to keep the burgundy wheels!...;)

 

 

The closest thing to glynden green might be from this 1936 brochure...
