Title: Terracotta FC's! Post by: shane_r on June 24, 2004, 02:00:42 AM Just a general question, I have a terracotta and Abobe beige 58 FC. I constanly scan through pictures of club cars and constantly see FC's/FE's that are grey, blue or green. Obviously popular colours in the 1950's. I've only seen a number of cars that have different colour schemes than the above common combonations.
Are such combinations like trracotta and adobe beige and terracotta rare, or undesired? As i find it hard to believe that they would be undesired! Why don't many of the club car owners have such different combinations (colour). im interested. Shane.. Title: Re: Terracotta FC's!

Post by: mcl1959 on June 26, 2004, 08:04:02 AM Terracotta and the even rarer Terraglow were not common colours when released in the late 50's. I have a number of pictures of cars painted in this colour, but they are hard to find.

The wifes car is being painted in this colour scheme and I will supply everyone with the modern PPG Paintcodes shortly. We have matched perfectly the original terracotta - from several different sources - all gave the same result. We had accses to on original untouched colour chart - genuine one from the dealers- and this sample was replicated on other paint chip cards. ... so armed with all these chips we managed to track down a direct match - in Deltron. When the paint turns up we will pass on the PPG Deltron paint numbers for Adobe Beige and Terracotta.
