by Guest Tue Feb 14, 2012 8:44 pmHey boys and girls, It's been a while for me but I finally got myself a '66 A100 sportsman. It's got a beautiful looking 273 which has been seviced and purrs like a kiten. The 727 has also been seviced but the body needs a bit of tlc. Nothing major though and I have some pre fab panels to weld in. My biggest problem though is the colours. The top of the van is a lovely rust brown, the middle is more eggshell cream than white and the bottom is a faded blue green almost white. Living in Australia I cannot find the right colours. Could anyone please tell me where to find the colour codes on the van or what the colours are called. I have seen many photos of vans with the blue/green top and bottom and the white in the centre, this seems to be fairly common but I still can't find the colour names. Any help would be much appreciated. Sorry about the novel but I'm very excited to finally have my van. I hope to post some pics in the future if I can work out how. thanks col

Welcome!
There are sources on the net for Chrysler paint charts with chips. They don't always display the correct color on your monitor, but you should be able to get close enough to guess.

There is a seller on EBay (autolit) that has a large collection of original brochures for sale. These also often have color selections.

Thanks for the info on the colours for my A100, those links were a great help. Now all I need is to find a paint shop over here that can match the colours. The dodge A100 was not available in Aust for sale so the steering wheel is on the left hand side, so yes it's on the right side he he. I hope to post progress photo's as I am restoring the old girl. so watch this space. I will keep everyone informed as I go.
