Does anyone have the color chip mix for 1958 Color 40?  I had it once, can't find it.  Dr. Color Chip (very good by the way) can't find it either?  Believe its called Calcutta Cream?

Hello Tony. All I could find was a series of chips in an old Martin Senour (NAPA) passenger car colors catalog, (Cadillac 1954 - 1959). There is indeed a chip called "Calcutta Cream", (#40). I think this company still supplies NAPA and with this info perhaps you can get more information on this paint. It was available in both Lacquer and Synthol. Clay/Lexi
