I see paint chip samples for the 1957 Cadillac color "Castile Maroon" but I can not find a single photo of a Cadillac in this color.
Any suggestions where an example could be found?

1957 Continental Mark II
1960 Corvette
1956 Thunderbird (sold)
1965 Buick Riviera (sold)
1975 Datsun 280 Z (sold)

'72 Eldorado Convertible (LHD)

Thank you
Yes, I can find color charts everywhere, but the images of the Cadillacs are all "Dallas Red"
I have found no images of cars painted in "Castile Maroon"
1957 Eldorado Biarritz
1957 Continental Mark II
1960 Corvette
1956 Thunderbird (sold)
1965 Buick Riviera (sold)
1975 Datsun 280 Z (sold)

IIRC, that was a carry over color.  You may try searching 1955 or 1956 Cadillac cars.

Thanks
1956 "Chantilly Maroon"
or 1955 "Deep Cherry" come close.
If a 57 is painted this color, can it be said to still be a Cadillac color for 1957?
