I have located a project 1968 Eldorado that is Black with Black and white houndstooth interior. Black's OK, but my favorite 1968 Eldorado color is what I would call a "Burnt Sienna" or a dark orange.

I went to ebay to check out some paint chips for sale and so far I don't see it.  What bothered me the most was that I saw paint chips from several companies and many had different colors!  I am not sure I trust any of them now.

Does anybody have the name and paint color chip for that 1968 Eldorado Burnt Sienna orange color?  I have seen it on 3-4 1968 Eldorados.  THANKS!

I probably have it.. Id caution you about changing a color n the resale of orange?? Houndstooth/ blk sounds nice to me..
Likely some of you own my former cars.. I had many, many Cads as well as other luxury makes over the years.
Currently have no collector cars right now, but looking..if you have something give me a try.

I could care less what my daughters get for my cars after I die.    ;D

Anyway, still looking.  Weird the paint chips are all over the map on ebay, usually they are consistent.  Maybe grab a 68 Eldorado brochure.

Brian, there is a touch-up paint site that has all the colors readily at hand. Try that. Google 1968 Cadillac paint chart, or whatever.
