Funny thing NO CHARGE for the "special order" OMAHA ORANGE. IIRC, Doug said he bought his 68 RR right of the lot at Glendale C-P. Yes, I noticed the paint wasn't an extra charge. Strange. There's an article that Larry Jett wrote about 68 Orange cars. I think Scott Smith posted it once. I wonder if the region batched a group of these cars to distribute to various dealers. At first I thought these orange cars went up to northern California. But sounds like other dealers got some. Can you tell by the window sticker numbers if the Glendale C-P car was special ordered car that someone maybe refused and was put on the lot, or did the dealer order it, or something else. Wonder if that ship to "Dallas Smith" is a link to the answer? Isn't/Wasn't the Chrysler Parts Depot in Santa Fe Springs? Could there have been a holding lot there? It's mostly industrial there. Even more so in 1969. Barry Washington's and others' opinions?? Last edited by autoxcuda; 03/22/10 01:42 AM.

The original color is lighter and brighter. 5880072-IMG_2222.JPG (144 downloads) Last edited by JimDiesel; 03/22/10 02:15 AM. 68 Road Runner 67 Coronet

I have never seen a cost for 999 paint, I do not think there was one. There was a ship to point in Santa Fe Springs, newer documents say something about automotive pre-check if I remember right? I would have to do some serious digging to find it.

"Omaha Orange" started life as a fleet color "safety orange" and was used by many automobile & truck manufacturers for DOT vehicles and other state & federal agencies. Its popularity on some muscle cars namely California Road Runners, Barracudas, & Bengal Chagers led Chrysler to market a similar hue (EK2) with gold metallic in it as "Vitamin C" for the Plymouths and "Go Mango" for the Dodges starting in the spring of '69. 5880084-TSB-omahaorange.JPG (197 downloads)
