1967 Belvedere 1 start

Rainy Day Auto said

I have the same problem with trying to get the spare tire well fixed on a 68 coronet wagon.

I was on the bubble as to which color to paint it because the Brady bunch brown just doesn't cut it. Problem is that 67/ 8 color selection was kinda boring when these cars were new.

as of now I am going to paint the car black because I am confident in my body work. I might change my mind 50 times. Problem with a wagon is you want a color that "pops" yet doesn't look over done.....that is a harder challenge than most people would think it is.

Actually some of my favorite Mopar colors were 67-68 only colors. Medium Copper Metallic was 67 only. Surf Turquoise Metallic (Dodge's Medium Turquoise Metallic) and Electric Blue Metallic (Dodge's Bright Blue Metallic) were 68 only colors. The blue and turquoise colors changed in 69. B-5 blue has more of a silver tint compared to the 68 bright blue. I hope you keep the wood grain on your wagon even if you change the color to black. There are very few remaining B body wagons with the wood grain trim. The convertible in the photo is the 68 only color of bright blue. the fastback (mine long before I bought it) is the 68 only medium turquoise metallic.
