Brown cars, I need Brown cars

As Jim sibley is looking for Orange cars Im after Brown cars need to be dark with quite a bit of flake in the paint but NOT Metalflake this is for a car Im putting together so I dont want to go for a colour that is to moden like the reds and Yellows you see a lot of. Show us what you have.

 

Not a lot of metal flake in the brown, but it's brown. Gary

 

porsche sepia brown

 

I don't have a picture of it, but the most gorgeous brown I ever saw was a candy rootbeer...It was dark brown but when the sun shined on it , it just glistened like rootbeer! It was on a 32 ford. These picts were the only ones I had that were brown - not dark enough though!

 

Now there must be more brown cars out there ?

 

seriously.... do you need any others?? Beautiful!

 

Yes, in the 1970's! Serious, it was a hot color in the resto-rod days. Look through some old magazines. That said, that coupe that Chris posted gives me wood every time I see it!

 

Brown is cool

 

If this is a Ford color, I think they called it 'Chestnut Brown'. I've seen '62 Fords in a very similar (if not the same) color and one of the interior colors in my '62 Galaxie looks like this--

Wow this is what Im after does anyone have some more shot of this car ?

 

I dug up another angle...

 

I was just going to post this same thread. Awesome!

 

Check on the color for a '69 chevelle. a friend of mine had one back when they were new. that's the nicest brown I've seen, very dark with nice metallic. Chevy didn't call it brown, it was something like Tawny Gold!

 

Looks brownish in certain light, but it's actually root beer colored.
Jack Carrols 32

hahaha...not even close.
Its the Doyle Gammel coupe at the Nethercutt Museum in SoCal, owned by Bruce Meyer.
The Rodders Journal did a piece on it a while back...I'll dig out the copy and see if it mentions paint color details...stand by...

 

I have never been much of a brown fan, but some of these are actually starting to change my mind. I have not seen some of these browns before and they really look good.

 

Here ya go...its PPG Cordova Brown

 

I took some pic's of that 32 just the other day and I thought is was black in lower light.

In '77 Ford had a color called Nectarine Poly that I always liked.

 

I just had some PPG CONCEPT Single Stage mixed up for my motor, which i plan on painting the car with also. It's a Ford color from 1983 called Dark Brown Poly. It a nice dark brown metallic with a little dark maroon flake also. I'll try and remember to get a pic posted of the motor when i spray it.

 

this 64 chevy c10 is very dark brown, allmost black,with gold flake.`34 pickup has brown scallops with golden body..
