Thanks Ademon! That should help. I see one thing that is different than my car though. The puple stripe in the middle of the hood went all the way to the windshield on my car just like the purple car in this thread. I'm beginning to think that different assembly plants painted things differently, including some had pinstripping, others did not.
Thanks everyone for their input!

That's exactly my car except mine has rally wheels! Your hood paint is as close to what mine was as I've seen. Thanks for the pic!

Never really seen an original paint demon with the body color down the center of the cowl. Every one that claimed to be original had the cowl blacked out. But who knows.
Here is a picture of mine with what I believe to be the original paint. This is an LA built car. Just curious RJS, was your car built at the LA plant?

Mine was a Hamtrack car built 925. But like I said it was redone and I have no idea about accuracy. Ron

Well I was thinking that whoever restored your car tried to reproduce what was there originally, and that maybe LA built cars were painted that way. Apparently that is not the case. Well, I'm 99.9% sure that mine came from the factory painted with the stripes all the way to the windshield. That is how I will finish it.
