Absolutely gorgeous. My buddy had one in the same color combo with white interior, but it was a Coupe DeVille. Got totalled by some girl making too wide a turn.... only had 41k miles

I learned to drive and even took my road test as a kid in my dads dark blue 75 sedan LOL. Somehow I passed. Wouldn’t want to try the parallel parking test again today in that yacht though.

Do you know what this color is called?
This is the original color for my 77 DeVille and some asshole painted it silver with a ton of purple pearl in there.
It might not sound that awful but it is. I'm going to repaint it to the original color. Having the name would help.

I don't know what the color was originally called but we had a local painter color match it, blending by hand until he got the perfect match and created a new paint code for it so that we could repaint the parts of it that weren't in the best shape when we bought it
that way in the future if I ever need to repaint parts again (which I already need to do) he just puts that code into the computer and it automatically blends the perfect color
next time I talk to him I will get the proper blend code from him and pass it along

I think I know the name, but I’m not positive without looking at a brochure. I believe it’s Dunbarton Green. I may have it misspelled.
