EXPLANATION OF 1955 BUICK OVERALL, TWO-TONE AND THREE-TONE COLOR COMBINATIONS

The Buick Motor Division has devised a new system for identifying exterior body finishes used in production on the 1955 models which follows:

Alphabet Code Letters designate colors which are available for solid, two-tone, or three-tone color combinations. The firsst alphabet letter designates the upper color, the 2nd alphabet letter denotes the center color, and the 3rd alphabet letter denotes the color below molding, i.e., Combination AAA would be all Black, and ADB would be Upper-Black, Center-Windsor Gray Metallic, and below moulding- Dover White.

 

Color code numbers appear on a plate on the right side portion of the firewall under the hood.  

I scanned the below colors from a DuPont December, 1954 Color Bulletin and matched them as close as I could with "web colors".
