Here is a non-blue car that caught my eye (I seem to be drawn to blue Cadillacs, hmmm)...

We saw your gorgeous car!  But with Josh & Emma (from Nova Scotia) attending a GN for their first time, we were running around like kids in a candy shop.

Here's an exceptional 1992 Eldorado Touring Coupe. It is the only Eldorado Touring Coupe of this generation with 4.9 Liter; all subsequent model years had Northstar (Touring Coupe).

I cannot recall the last time I saw a 1992 Eldorado as immaculate as this.

Dave and Eric,

Thanks for your efforts [probably pleasurable] with the great pictures!! I sure wish I could have been there, and I bet a bunch of others feel the same. What a beautiful gathering of Cadillacs and Lasalles and beautiful weather besides!!

Thanks,

Don

Do you think both of those are Persian Sand?

My "guess" is no.

Those two colors are too different.

Having seen a couple of original paint Persian Sand cars, I'd say most definitely the lighter one is the correct color.

The one in the foreground could be Wood Rose Poly?

Not Woodrose either which is close to pink.

Not sure what happened there either. To my eyes, it looks very similar to #97 "Cameo Rosewood Firemist" of 1975. (Not to be confused with #78 "Rosewood" which appears darker.)

It does have its original convertible roof and the interior is all original with buckets. Very rare to see a '59 EBZ with an interior this well preserved. Can't be more than a handful like this on the planet. Hope someone got a photo of it. It's amazing.

Dave...I think the Self Starter photog is out of a job.  ;D

Ha!    A couple I had to grab from Peter Gariepy and Josh Noiles to fill gaps of ones I missed or came out blurry.

I would never venture a guess from various independent pictures. The picture posted had the two cars side by side in the same photo. An obvious shade difference can be seen in the photo. It would be impossible to tell by other photographs under different lighting. (sunlight or artificial light)

The only true test would be side by side and then what if all the cars had been repainted? Who is to say which is correct? Unless we found one with original paint to directly compare to.

Then going further I did work as a young student for my summer job in a tannery in the finish department. I got to watch the color match expert do his craft on leather. Even batch to batch of paint from GM in 1959 could have been a different shade!
