    I have 2 356C color charts. Interesting differences between the 2 charts. Champagne Yellow is a standard color in YM 1964 and a "Special Color" in 65YM., This should add to the confusion.......

    On the contrary Jim, I think it confirms that Porsche used the September 1964 356 color brochure (and not the Nov 1963 edition) for the 911 until the 1966 model year.

    I would think an internal memo from the factory to the dealerships explaining the color choice of the new 911 must be out there somewhere...

    The existence of the two color brochures with same cover illustration could explain the confusion in the existing literature.

    That's interesting, but at best it's a theory about what 6420 is based upon 6220 being "[police car] Porcelain White" But many 64xx colors changed with the 66xx color codes. So, 6420 could be Porcelain White or it could be something else.


    6401 Slate Gray 6601 Slate Gray
    6402 Ruby Red 6602 Polo Red
    6403 Sky Blue 6603 Gulf Blue (aka Golf Blue)
    6404 Light Ivory 6604 Light Ivory
    6405 Champagne Yellow 6605 Bahama Yellow
    6406 Irish Green 6606 Irish Green
    6407 Signal Red 6607 Sand Beige
    6608 Aga Blue
    6609 Black
    6410 Dolphin Grey
    6411 Togo Brown
    6412 Bali Blue
    6413 Black

    And, the only knowledge of 6421 is that the car painted that color isn't around anymore.

    I have a 356C color chart the same as the one with 6403 and 6405 as a standard color BUT it is dated 6.63. It is still W15 but after the "printed in Germany" it reads 50 M. 6.63

    I still wonder where authors Peter Morgan, Brian Long, Johnson and Paternie all got their info in their books, stating the 64/65 build 911 shared their colors with the 356C ones.
    I mean, they didnt just all saw Eric's father pricelist..

    So, where they got their infos from. Paint tags w 64xx and 65xx codes?
    It cant be taken from above shown 356C color charts either...since those charts dont list/include any 911 (or 912) at all, even we rightly interprete them because they share the same colors as found on 64xx/65xx paint tags.

    As Thomas/Milou wrote me in a internal memo, amazing that after so many years of discussing topics, this is -yet- an unsolved one.
