Title: book project, please help
Post by: mykle1616 on March 04, 2011, 08:04:35 PM
HI everyone.  My roommate is attempting her hand at writing a fiction book and one of her characters is the proud owner of a 74 green pinto.  Unfortunately, she doesn't know the correct name for the shades of green for that year's models.  I see the color choices on here for the 72s, but cannot find any listings online of the 74 colors.  If anyone knows the correct color names for any of the green 74 models, please inform me.  I appreciate any help given.  Thank you.  :)

The 74 color chart is available on Evil Bay #360165922004 (can't read it on the listing but it is available).

According to my '74 Pinto dealer's brochure, there's Bright Green Gold Metallic (reminds me of a golden-green apple), Dark Yellow Green Metallic (that's a richer green metallic- darker than the green above), Medium Lime Yellow (looks like Spring Green in your Crayola box- also see redmustangman's '74 wagon), and Green Glow (I'm not sure of that shade). Hope this helps! ;D
