@chazy-r All I know is that car was in his driveway for years and was purchased new. I just looked at ACL too, Gold Mist Poly is close but not bronzy enough for my recollection.

Here's the 1968 Buick color chart. The "Burnished Saddle" is the closest to the Goldvarg sample, but is definitely not the same color.

My dad was a Buick dealer in the 60's. The brown was a '68 GM color and a Buick color in '69, but with a different name. The green was a Pontiac color. But Buick had a paint option that would allow buyers to order pretty much any color on the current GM pallet; so technically either of these colors would be period correct.
