Stamp is issuing a new LE of the 58 Cadillac

"Limited to 90 pieces."

HA!  That may have been actual 1:1 production numbers too; Google  searches produced only ONE 1958 Cadillac in that color.    🤔 🤔 

@chris It is a factory color so it seems more examples would be out there.  https://www.autocolorlibrary.com/pages/1958-Cadillac.html

"It is a factory color so it seems more examples would be out there."

Oh, I KNOW it's a factory color .... but my 10-minute search effort yielded just one 1:1 example.     🤔 🤨 😐 

@chris I think that one is Alamo Beige Poly.  I found a few examples which are pinker than this one.

@whodeytink 

Actually Mark, this article calls it a 'gold' and that it is more desirable than Meridian Taupe.

THIS one is 'said' to be Meridian Taupe:

@perrone1 ...well, that appears different than the sample color and the picture I posted isn't correct.   I guess I can't find ANY 1958 Cadillacs in Meridian Taupe.   😒 😒

@perrone1 Yes, I saw that one but thought it too pink compared to the color chart.  Stamp usually gets the colors correct, as far as I recall, so I'm hoping it will be closer to the chip on AutoColorLibrary.

@perrone1 You are indeed correct, sir.  Those whitewalls are outlandish.

Here is what I think is the real Meridian Taupe with many pictures.

GORGEOUS!

Two color chips, one from ACL, the other from Paintref.com 

@jkuvakas The colors seem to be all over the map.  The notice I received of the model shows a 1:1 like the pic and link I posted just above.  It's not coming out till July so we'll have to wait and see.

Unfortunately, I don't have '58 Caddy color chips, but John K.'s post matches what I see online - closer in hue to the '58 Cadillac pic I posted, but I KNOW that's NOT Merdian Taupe. 

- Mark's last pic looks more like the '56 color - Mountain Laurel, which "restorers"  used to respray many late '50's Cadillacs turning them all into "pink Cadillacs."    

- All that I can confirm is that two "pink"  colors were offered in 1958: Tahitian Coral & Meridian Taupe - which looks like John K.'s pics - more of a brownish-pink. 

- 🤪 😯 😬 🤪 😲
