PICs While we're on the subject of TBird SR here's another repaint in Chestnut. This is the eighth color for the Sports Roadster, added in the spring of 1962. I took some liberties with the interior. All Chestnut cars had matching Chestnut interiors but I thought it would look nice in Parchment. Thanks for looking.

Pete you do great work! Is that color the same as “Amberglow” that was used on the 1965 ?Special TBird? ?? Looks very similar
