Print Ad - Gold `59 Impala Sport Coupe

Dateline: August 1959 - The dedicated artist is hard at work, along with her slackjaw assistant.

Inspiration comes only when your `59 Chevy is driven into a grove of trees that is merely a darker version of the Gothic Gold and Satin Beige two-tone color code #970 spread across your car. The subject of this picture is surely outside of the ad's borders, because it certainly couldn't be sleeping book guy. Or maybe it is, with the artist twisting her realistic figure into surreal Picassan mockery. "Yes honey, your nose is growing out of the side of your face. Well maybe I'm a bit off dear, but it's so hard to tell when Catcher In The Rye is covering your skull."

Gothic Gold as a color is rarely seen these days. I don't know if it's hard to match or if people just don't want the shade anymore. Maybe it's just too darn close to "Sit-Around Brown." I've seen one `59 in this paint code and it was really striking up close. Kent Weinsten sent me these photos of a gorgeous Impala convertible in this color - just click on the thumbnail to see a bigger version:

Two tone schemes like code #970 make it even more dramatic. My Paint Chip Data can give you a close view of the color.
