EXTERIOR COLORS (r-1)

1968 Pontiac Sales Album

EXTERIOR COLORS

Fifteen standard exterior body colors are available in 1968 in addition to special-order (extra-cost) colors. Pontiac’s “Magic-Mirror” finish is achieved by a special Thermo-reflow painting process, utilizing acrylic lacquers. The result of baking the paint at an extra-high temperature, just long enough for the paint to reflow, is an exceptionally smooth surface that retains its “showroom-new” look far longer than ordinary finishes.

Besides the solid colors shown on the next few pages, a wide choice of two-tone combinations is available. See the Colors-Interiors-Accessories album for complete information.

Convertible and Cordova Top Colors. For 1968, four color choices are available for either convertible tops or the extra-cost Cordova Top. They are: Ivory-White (Code1); Black (Code 2); Teal (Code 5); and Gold (Code 8). The Cordova Top is available on all models except Catalina 2-door Sedan and Tempest Custom and Tempest Safari Station Wagons. Decor option is required on Tempest, Tempest Custom and Catalina Series. See the Colors-Interiors-Accessories album for available combinations, according to body color and trim selection.

Body Side Molding Vinyl Inserts. All Catalina (25200), Executive (25600) (except Safaris) and Bonneville (26200) models have a full-width plastic-filled body side molding: Color usage is shown in chart below.
