Autumn Bronze (M) Rare color?
How rare is the color autumn bronze for 1966 442's. Does anyone have the numbers or know where to find them? It doesn't appear it's all that rare.

IIRC interior trim with Autumn Bronze was limited to Parchment, Black and Autumn Bronze, and those interiors were limited to the same exterior colors. I know that's the case with Toronados and B-bodies.
A black or white car with an Autumn Bronze interior is striking.
I always thought Oldsmobiles wore the color better than the Chevrolet, because an Olds generally had more trim details and accents. A friend has an Aztec Bronze 66 SS396 convert and if it weren't for the wheel arch mouldings and black tailpanel, that car would look awfully plain.

Thanks for all the imput, I was thinking I would keep it the same color(Autumn Bronze) if the color is truly rare for 66 442. With so few of them out there maybe it would make it more valuable or desirable? If not, I will probably change it to a nicer marroon color or "target red".
