Green in Gettysburg

Seen this really nice Oldsmobile in Gettysburg today. Anyone know if it’s a factory color?
It closely resembles the F8 green on my daughter’s R/T

It's close to Pinehurst Green Iridiscent, a 72 color. Edit: Tim wins!

Given that the bumper is painted, it's not factory-applied paint, so there is no way to know what color it is without asking the owner.

Hopefully, the owner or someone that knows the owner sees this and can advise.

I noticed the bumpers were painted which gives me hope the shop that painted the car in the picture is fairly close to me. My car needs paint but I have to complete the driveline first and green is on the list.

I don't think the odds are favorable that the owner is in any way connected with this site.

I have no use for those wheels. Just my opinion.

The Resto-Mod look is the way the younger generation is slowly taking this hobby. Taking the old iron making them much more safe, faster, more reliable and comfy still with the older car look. My 2cents..

I'm just old, but I knew that. I will take front discs and a dual master cylinder. Power brakes and steering, too.

I think they lose a lot when that happens to them.

I’m definitely not the younger group but 18” wheels with a beefier tire looks great to me on older Cutlasses. It took me a month to finally decide on a wheel/tire package but I think they’ll do the car justice with a little retro look; still waiting for them to get here.
Paint is last on my list after drivability and dependability and my car will not stay the original color as the car is not anything rare plus “I’m” not a fan of yellow. My first car was green which I loved and I really like Dodge’s F8 Green but staying with a Oldsmobile green is preferable.
