Re: [T3] Original 73 Square color?


<x-charset iso-8859-1>> What appears on your site as Sumatra Green for '73, is identical (or as
close through monitor technology) as the Field Green I found on the paint
site previously.

I think the English names are normally simply translations of the German
words, though I have a feeling the odd one may be different (can't think of
any example at the moment - no time to look up the details either).  They
are listed in the 'English' parts book with USA spellings, so there's not
much doubt who they are aimed at!

Sumatra is a very vivid green (as befits a tropical jungle) unlike the more
gentle Elm green that in any case isn't a '73 colour.

I think you will find '17' stamped across the end of the 3" x 1/2" painted
plate on the front panel under the hood when you get back to your car, to
prove it's Sumatra green L61B (original paint assumed).
