Default 56 Corvette color codes

Would anyone have the correct color codes for the Cascade Green and white cove for a 1956 Corvette.

Thanks,

Wayne

The car itself does not have a code on it. Manufacturers like Dupont, Ditzler, PPG etc have their own codes. Is that what you're wanting?

Here is some more info on Cascade green '56 Corvettes. Of the 3467 Corvettes made in 1956, 290 were painted Cascade green at the factory. Of these 290, 147 were two tone optioned Cascade Green/Beige. There was no Cascade Green/ White done at the factory.

Corvette registry lists only two cove colors, and it appears that the "shoreline beige" is white or darn close to if it you look at the pics...

You'll find all PPG or DuPont codes for '53 and later Corvettes here if that's what you're looking for.
