grand prix color question (now with pics)


Recommended Posts

Posted

there is a grand prix in town that is an odd color, and i was wanting to know if it was factory. it is a light purple, not sure what year, and its a sedan

Posted

Oh, I remember now after the reply. IIRC it was only used for half a year. Let me see if I can find some pictures...

I have pics of a 1994 CS in purple.

 

I don't remember seeing any 1988-96s in purple, I know the 1997-2003s were offered in purple though.

Posted

none of those are it. i forgot to mention its a 1st gen

Posted

the owner lives up the road i will try to get a pic of it tommorow

Posted

I've seen them... I think it was a 94-96, its a light purple-blue, right? Its a "rare" color, I guess. I know we've discussed it before on here.

My 96 dealer literature makes no mention of any purples...

All it lists are these 8 colors

 

16 Bright White

30 Medium Blue Metallic (SE sedan)

31 Medium Teal Metallic (SE sedan)

35 Dark Teal metallic

41 Black

43 Bright Aqua Metallic

81 Bright Red

96 Red-Orange Metallic

 

My brother had a 95 SE Sedan in what I think was the Medium Blue Metallic, kinda looks purple in the pics...

I want to say that color was available in 94, but I'm not totally sure.

Posted

I've never seen this color or heard of it. I just know of the '97 only purple color.

Posted

next time i see it i will try to get a pic

like i said the camera didnt pic up the purple very well. i showed the car to my mom and she even agreed

Posted

Electric blue is what I've always called it. Unless it's some aftermarket paint job.

Posted

its been painted, original colour is red, look at the pic!

 

below the headlight- red

lower shirt on front- red

front fender where piece missing- plastic clips are painted, where they wouldnt be from factory

Posted

its been painted, original colour is red, look at the pics!

 

Yep...If you look under the right headlight and at the edge of the valence, there's a hint of red paint.

Posted

GOOD EYE!!! i saw it in person, and missed that it has a red area on the front.

Posted

also im not a sedan expert but... the previous picture has black mirros and these are body matched.... im pretty sure body match was a coupe only thing

 

edit

after closer inspection this appears to be a maaco job, no gloss, missed the part under the headlight, and the piece of moulding on the rear 1/4 doesnt fit at all( behind passenger rear door)
