Location: So. Cal | I think this color is a little darker shade than the original Parade Green. I really like it, but I think I would paint my car the same color, but even a shade darker than this.

Location: Lubbock, TX | I believe this is the one that was at Russo and Steele Scottsdale last month. If so, it's actually a pretty good car, paint was a fresh respray, done well. Interior was starting to show some age, but nothing I'd shy away from. Overall a very nice weak #2 car. I believe it was refurbished overseas?

color met its end here in Spokane.

Location: Eastern Iowa | There were only about 15 or so C's originally painted Parade Green.
Mine is one of those. |

Location: So. Cal | I'm not really impressed by most of the original colors for 300C's & D's. The lesser cars are beautifully colored with their 2-tone paint schemes, but the mono-color 300 needs something more in order for it to really look good IMO. Mine was originally white. I honestly prefer rusty patina to yet another boring white 300C. I think these cars look best in dark colors rather than light ones. It seems to highlight their body lines better. Black is good for that, but I wouldn't want an all-black car either. I REALLY like this '57 Imperial paint. Is this the Forest Green color or a custom blend of Parade Green? How many Forest Green 300C's were made?

Location: So. Cal | I think the Spruce Green isn't that dark. I think this convertible is Spruce Green. But maybe it's the Mandarin Jade like this Imperial. But this dark Mandarin Jade would be a great color for a 300. Any 300D's originally painted with this color?
