It is a very nice '60's' color but it's also a very hard color to get true to factory. The true factory reef turquoise rides a knife's edge between the blue and green mix. A trip to Napa and Martin Senour is usually disappointing - it stayed into the green flash too much. A head snapping color in it's correct balance IMO

Parchment interior would make it BETTER. "Bill"!

Agreed Bill. Not sure if it's the picture quality or my computer but that strays way too much toward green

Kind of on the fence here.
Sort of reminds me of the seafoam green that was so popular in the '60s for bathroom walls. |

It would have been the perfect car for the Ventures and their surf music. Just make sure it has the reverb option.

I'm partial to Teal Turquoise and Parchment. I guess Reef makes a good second choice.

Very period correct - love it, especially with wheelcovers and white walls.

Don't like, but there are one or two other original greens in 65 that are great.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
