Some are rarely seen because they are awful and no one wants them.

The Inca Silver is clearly not a '56-'57. Panama Yellow in '58 and Arctic Blue in '56 were also very rare.

I agree. And calling Honduras Maroon 'blood red' as opposed to Roman red is just plain being color blind. Honduras Maroon is hardly even red.....more like root beer brown with a little Dr. Pepper maroon thrown in. On the bright side, there is a gent in the town where I live that has a Turqoise/white cove '56 that has been his daily driver for over 50 years. He has something like 500,000 miles on it. I see it all over the place, and man, does it stand out.

That blue 61 is beautiful... but it's not close to Jewel Blue... Looks more like a 'Royal Blue'.
The interior on my 61 is Jewel... and I know how hard it is to re-create it!
Jewel Blue is a bit lighter, and a bit 'grey'.

From what I understand some of the new car dealers painted the coves of a few of them contrasting color prior to offering them for sale if they weren't contrasting already. The dealer decided the color, not GM.
