Default Brandywine Red

Please excuse my ignorance, but can anybody show me the color Brandywine Red? I have been a lifelong fan of the Marque, however, I cannot recall what this color looks like . Any pictures would be real helpful. And YES, I am a REAL CORVETTE owner and lover of 3ea. c-1,c-3, and c-5. Many thanks,---- "3 AMIGOS."

I have a 2005 C3 catalog from Ecklers. The catalog number is 3705. On page 65 they have color samples for all the the C3 interior colors. None of the interior colors are named Brandywine. The 1976 interior red was called "Firethorn." It would probably be close. Also, the 1982 "Red" looks like a Bergundy. The 1977-1981 "red" is a dark red. The 68-72 red is fire engine red.

Was Brandywine for a C2, C5, etc? Maybe get an Eckler catalog for the Corvette design series that Brandywine was used.

To my knowledge, Brandywine is not a Corvette color, at least through the C4s. It might be a C5 or C6 color, but that would put you in a different forum.

It might be the name for another car. I remember that cans of Dupont paint for Honduras Maroon was also used on other GM cars, but each of those cars had a different name for the color listed on the can
