Since Pontiac made four times as many 70/71 T/A's as they did in 72 I'd think a few other non-72's would show up from time to time if they were available all three years. Keep up the good work guys, I love this website  |
Thanks! As noted in earlier posts on this thread there is known to be:
1. Black with - - in the trim tag
2. Silver with - - in the trim tag
3. Red
4. Pearl White with custom white interior for Bill Mitchell (Blue trim changed from black)
5. Adriatic Blue 24 24 with custom white deluxe interior (blue trim changed from black)
Some have wondered why a custom order colored car would be made in a shade of Lucerne blue when there were so many color choices? It's interesting that Mitchell's car was made in a 'shade' of Cameo White, that being pearlized white, and the blue trim in lieu of black.... I know I'm reaching here, but the Adriatic Blue is a more silvery version of the Lucerne Blue, and the car does have the same custom trim appointments in blue as Mitchell's car (sans the blue piping and other details in the Mitchell car). A blue version of the Mitchell car??? That's the kind of thing that makes you go.... Hmmmmm.
That's a great question regarding custom colors in '70 or '71. Does anyone have knowledge of additional custom colored TA's from '70~'72?
