For those of you who have the NEO Packard 110 Deluxe wagon I have a question regarding color. I seen photos of this lighter poly green that are all over the map. If you have one, which of these pics best represent the true color. I am thinking of getting one but don't know which is the "true" color. Also, wonder if this is a factory color?

Had the same dilemma, so I went with black and was glad I did.

I have the model right in front of me and #3 comes nearest...

#1 is too dark and #2 doesn't properly represent the shade of green.

I'm looking at mine next to your pictures, and I agree with #3. And I like it!

Mark, I thought that I had ordered green, but up close in daylight it sure looks like black.

I thought that color might come across as black or nearly so.

Chickory Green is what I was told on this forum 1-2 years ago.

The dark green version is reportedly Grove Green Poly. I couldn't decide, bought both. In bright sunlight, here's the darker green:

They're both great but the darker green is the bomb!

John is right. The dark green is the bomb. PIC

I picked it up when it was released. Awesome!
