Searching for Exterior/Interior colors | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Barry S (Goofycat)

Before I buy, I need to check out the exterior and interior colors of the late 50s Speedsters. Since eyeballing cars in-the-flesh at all the major meetings and shows seem to be pretty much over for this year, I thought that Amazon might provide some books on Speedsters that would show color photos that would help. Any suggestions?

Barry: The 356 Registry has some good info online. The Members Gallery has lots of photos sorted by year of manufacture. The Technical Info link will take you to scanned images of original paint and interior color charts.

Hope this helps,
