Have a ton of factory paperwork, & looked & looked for a copy of documentation as to what color of stripes went with what color of car, many years ago when I was running the GT-37 Survey & was reproducing the reflective style D98 stripes. Even after gaining access to, & eventually aquiring dealer albums, never ran across a stripe color useage document for any of the reflective D98 stripes

Below is list of '72 colors & the colors of reflective D98 stripes I've examined on original chrome front bumper '72 LeMans & LeMans GT's. Quite a few endura nose LeMans GT's had the 9 stripe version which was avail on '72 LeMans when ordered with GTO pkg. Many others came with reflective style stripes. Have never been able to figure why some got one version & some received the other, may have been supply issues. Have run across similiar supply issues with the front fender GT cutout issue. Not all original reflective LeMans GT front fender stripes had the GT cutout.

Cowl tag paint code... '72 Pontiac color name... Reflective D98 stripe COLOR

11... Cameo Ivory... BLUE
14... Revere Silver... BLUE
24... Adriatic Blue... SILVER
26... Lucerne Blue... SILVER
43... Springfield Green... GOLD
48... Wilderness Green... GOLD
50... Brittany Biege...???
53... Quezal Gold... BLACK
55... Shadow Gold... ???
56... Monarch Yellow...??? (only have parted this color '72 w 9 stripe decals)
57... Brasilia Gold... GOLD
63... Anaconda Gold... ???
65... Sundance Orange... BLACK
75... Cardinal Red... GOLD

--- Special order paint (painted 69 chevrolet rally green)... SILVER
--- Special order paint (painted 70 Pontiac burgandy)... BLACK

In a few cases the original stripes were merely reminants on back of the fender jambs. A few colors, I have never ran across & are noted by ???. Hope this helps.
