This is incorrect. The shakers were Lucerne. I had this same question when I restored my car a few years ago. I had the opportunity to view an original paint car and it clearly had a LB shaker mismatching the stripe. Furthrtmore, when I sanded down my own shaker I went through a few layers of colors, including a red color that the car was painted once in the early 80s. Under all of that there was the LB paint over black primer as the last two layers. Matched the paint chip dead on. A lot of people prefer (or incorrectly believe) that the stripe should match and mix up a non-metallic paint to do so. I am not even sure Tyrol would look right anyway since the stripe color has a touch of aqua that may clash worse than LB.

Tyrol / Marina is the ticket.
But don't think i have ever seen a documented factory spec - either way.

Lucy looks sorta toopid with the stripes - i think its taken more for granted than it is anything. imho
Never thought Lucy was real sweet to the bright blue interior either.
But she is a pretty color.

I wouldn't take a 30-40 year old exterior metallic lacquer specimen too deeply.
But it boils down to choices made by the gut.

Seems like their ought to be a factory paper with that spec somewhere.
Whatever the true written verdict is.
