1967 Coronet color choices

[BBishere2]

What color looks the best on a 67 Coronet?

I've got a black vinyl top over blue - when I was a kid my parents bought a black vinyl top over white R/T with a gold/black interior.
I think my favorite one is the turquoise with white interior.

I was 13 years old when I first saw these at the new car show and it was the same color combo as bbishere2's car.Love it!

Turquoise with black and white int or turbine bronze with black and white, or maybe Petty blue again with black and white.

IMO, those were the first "HIP" colors.

...as far are "early" factory color combos go.

I like the B7 blue? and black vinyl top

I'm a bit biased........

Some years look great one colour and the next generation not so much. Funny how that works

I have not seen a picture posted of one painted my favourite colour, yet; Daffodill Yellow. Soon after I completed my restoration, about 30 years ago, I attended a WPC club show in Detroit. I was surprised to find there were 5 1967 R/T's at this show, all in different colours. IIRC, there was was one each in Red, Black, Bright Blue Metallic, Bronze, as well as mine in Yellow. Towards the end of the show, a couple of gentlemen came over to say how much they liked the colour of my R/T. They thought it was the best looking of the five. This really made my day! My car was originally painted Bronze, with a black vinyl top. Since there were already a couple of 1967 Coronets in my area painted this colour, I decided on a change in another '67 hue. Years earlier, I had owned a 1969 SuperBee painted Sunfire Yellow, and always liked the colour. This influenced my choice of 1967 paler Daffodill Yellow.
First picture is accepting 2nd. place trophy at Carlisle. Last picture was an "Off- the -Leash" day locally.

I think 67 Coronets look great in any color

They have great lines. But I'm biased towards red with a black top. Mine is painted chrysler inferno red pearl

the 1968 LL1 Surf Turquoise Metallic Poly


(or a QQ1 or Q5) or A4 or T7

LL1 like my Plymouth, org. color with my Day 2 flare added
black & red accents, mine has a black Decore interior

Like most cars depends on the wheels and trim and often the interior.
Black looks great but my vote is for red

Strangely enough, I don't care for red much, and I own four red cars. (Bought for other reasons, in spite of the color).
I've also owned four black cars at one time, three drivers. I will NEVER buy another black car.
(Anybody who buys a black car in 115° Arizona, is insane).

GG1 also LL1 is very nice.

I voted for copper, but silver or turquoise would also be great. As someone above noted, it depends on the interior color what looks good on the outside.

Mopar had some really nice blues in ’67, and I’m not even a fan of blue. If I were to build a ‘67 it would be a modern shade of silver or a bright white…

One year only. Our son has a 881 67 383 4 speed Charger.

It's tricky. colors that look good on smaller cars rarely look good on full-size cars. I like "The Hammer." I believe it's a BMW color. Warm gray.

Hi, great color! I have a 67 Barracuda 383-S car I am currently building. I am having a hell of a time finding the right 881 paint code/formula. I sure could use some help with the brand of paint and formula for the 881 if you have that info? Greatly appreciated!!

PPG has the code. I took a picture of the steering column bracket because it had never seen the sun. The painter had the paint matched to that. He did a base clear. The picture is of our son’s car. I don’t know what brand of paint the shop used. 881.
This was done at the tech school by students. Paint is 6 years old, car gets used and run down the drag strip.

Tommy Boy blue. Most wouldn't know the difference

I didn't vote, because I like metallic or pearl colors that are so dark, they're almost black, but look striking when they catch the sunlight...midnight blue, a really dark metallic green, or nearly-black wine burgundy. I did a ton of internet surfing before choosing Porsche Jet Green Metallic to repaint my '70 Charger, originally F8 army green, which I hate. It's been in the garage since it got done body & paint because I have yet to get it running again, but the front valance sure looked sweet in the sun. Can't wait to drive it and see the whole car in the sun...
