I hear Butternut (a.k.a Mayfair Maize in Canada) is the new red. Did they fetch BIG money? wink

Funny how stuff grows on you - I never really took notice of the 69 full size Pontiacs, and certainly never had any intention of buying one, until I saw the 427 Parisienne coupe I now own.

Butternut is one of the more subtle yellows. It's really grown on me since I bought my Laurentian.

I like all the bright colors.. Easier to clean, and if I am going to, spend big money on a toy, I want to be seen.. smile

To each his own, Mayfair Maize/Butternut Yellow is probably my all time favourite GM colour. Had a LeMans and Grand Prix in this colour.

Todd, it looks great !!! Butternut yellow is one of the best 1960's GM colors-always liked it-was always worn on the norm-paint it black storey. She really looks great-the redlines really do it. Thats a great car hope it brings back a lot of memories. Imagine all the guys out there that have a "mainstream" car in their garage with no floor in it and will never get to drive yet they have more dollars tied up then you !
