Original Color?
I just bought this 72 Convertible as a weekend driver. The guy I bought it from said it was repainted in the original 'springtime green'. I like the color regardless but was this an original color?

Welcome to the forum.
Reply back to this thread with either a pic of the cowl plate (inside engine compartment on driver's side) or a description of the cowl plate. It can be decoded for body/trim color.
Edit: oops, i thought the question was asking for the original body color, not if 'springtime green' is an Oldsmobile color

This link takes you to a page with 1972 paint choices. The only 3 shades of green I see are: Radiant Green Poly (code 36), Pinehurst Green Poly (code 43), & Sequoia Green Poly (code 48).

.....Is that Pinehurst Green a Rustang color too Sandy???
I'm gonna kick your a$$!!!!!
That Rustang should be proud to be wearing a GM color.... best thing about it, lol! Maybe it's one of the 14 colors on the paint sticks Don gave back to me where they couldn't match my paint!

I just bought the same exact car! I'll put some pics up as well. I questioned the color myself but it looked original and was under the carpet, weatherstripping etc. Thanks for clearing it up! Now I just have to get mine running right.
