What exact color is 398 : it looks like a metallic Green on the car......did not see a 398 paint code listed on the Desoto color chart. The 398 number came off of body tag under the hood.

Thanks,

Rick

Suggest you go to the National Desoto Club's Message Board www.desoto.org

In 56 Desoto used numbers for the various paint combinations. 386 might be a dark green body with a light green top and sweep-387 could be the reverse and so forth

With help from the NDC MB

Trm code 559 is a green cloth with leather interior that was used on Fireflite convertibles and Fireflite 2 door and 4 door Sportsman

Any one of them sound like great cars!
