1970 Chevelle SS396 in Daytona Yellow
 

Saw a very interesting car on Barrett-Jackson. Uses the term &quot;Paint Code Delete&quot;. Is the correct term &quot;Paint Code Delete&quot;? Thought the term would be &quot;Special Paint&quot;. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

This is not the first time I've seen that term, and I'm seeing it more and more lately. Personally, I think it's a misnomer.

Very good looking '70....just sits too high.

I could be wrong but a friend of mine had a L78 Nova that was an odd blue I had never seen on a Nova.I think the GM Canada documentation said &quot;paint delete&quot;.I always wondered why someone had never used this option to get a Hugger Orange Nova.

Here is a picture of the trim tag from one of the '70 Chevelles that I have. We consider it &quot;special paint&quot; rather than a paint delete. This particular car is painted a Buick blue.

THIS, to me, is what &quot;paint delete&quot; is.
