The SO means special order...I would peel back weatherstripping, or check under the carpet to find the actual color on the car...to give you at least a head start. I have a Dupont master formula book that covers that year but no #s are like that for anything.

Although this wont help you in your current quest, here is another useful source about 1961 colors. This is the Ditzler color chip for 1961:

Neither the Ditzler or the factory numbers match whats on your body plate..

Since your PAINT Code: SO 11251  matches your body number , I doubt anyone would know the color based on that number. Your TOP 2 code , would be Black.

Hey everyone thanks for the information.  It appears that the current paint is the original paint which was Mountain Laurel Pink special ordered--the same they put on the 56-57 Cadillacs.

Thanks again!
