LeMans Blue is virtually identical to the outgoing Admiral Blue so there is no way it's going to be that.

Yeah Admiral and LeMans are a near match. If it's Nassau or Jetstream a '19 GS will be VERY tempting.

You guys are talking two different shades of LeMans Blue -

1969




2006







My hope is Lynndale Blue from 1967 -
