Another Old Color....Champagne Yellow...

I'm sorry to bug you guys but I remember in an old Porsche book a picture of a 993 or earlier special order paint-to-sample of a Champagne Yellow Cab.

I know that color is an old 356 color and I was wondering if anyone might be familiar with the color or the book that picture came in...I think it was a soft cover book and I can't find it anywhere but I know I had it. It's a very Pale, pale yellow that might really look cool and retro with a black top and inside.

What do you guys think? Anyone know the book I'm referring to. Again, I'm sorry to be such a pain but I want to explore all avenues before I choose. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Tom

Not the specific car you are looking for, but here are two 912s in Champagne Yellow:




Also, here's a thread that complied all the yellow colors offered by Porsche over the years:

My dad bought a new 356C in 1964 (one of the last off the line) in Champagne Yellow (or Champagne Gold). It's a gorgeous pale yellow - much more attractive in person than Speed Yellow or Fly Yellow. Make sure you get a black interior though because with beige it looks very dull inside - more contrast required!

Thanks DJ but it is the Champagne Yellow that I'm looking for; I appreciate your pic though.

Best,

Tom

Matt,

You are the Man!!! Thank you so much. That was very generous of you to take the time to post those 2 pics and give me that link. It's just what I was looking for. Not the same pic but the right color!

I'm going to check the link out now. Thanks again.

All the best,

Tom

Hey Chris,

Thank you so much for the feedback on that color. It looks gorgeous to me too. There's no doubt about the black interior and top; it's the only way to go in my opinion and I'm glad you confirmed it.

You got my enthusiasm going and I appreciate it. I think that'll be the color I order.

Best regards,

Tom
