My 57 was originally Arctic blue with red interior.

Yeah, most people you come in contact with regarding these old cars have no idea about some of the exterior/interior color combinations that were available. You can't really fault them for their ignorance about this because the probably have never seen some of the rare color combos.
My 57 when restored 25+ years ago was changed to Venetian red I am sure for resale. With only 487 Arctic Blue 57's made I would think that other than the 65 Inca silver cars built the Arctic blue/red color combo has to be the rarest color combo for 57 as I am betting most of them were Beige.

I also have a Daytona Blue / Red SW that is currently painted white but will go back to Daytona Blue. I am not sure how many DB/Red cars there were.

And here is a 64 with a 15 year old paint job after paint correction and ceramic coating. The paint codes for the 63 and 64 are different. I am not sure what code was used on the 64.

Both year trim tag codes are the same, 916. My painter tells me '64 was called Indigo by Dupont but that both are the same color. I don't see a difference in the colors in person.

Steve, everytime I see your '63 it looks better and better. How is that possible?

JMills, a picture of your car has been the background on my phone for over a year.

Last spring a friend of mine sent me this picture at a cruise night in Florida. My buddy swore it was blue in person:

426, it just seems better with the new windshield and rear glass.

Correct. I was just referring to whatever the paint codes were that we used for the cars. The one used on the split window was a custom mix.
