Im looking for a caramel colour for a project car, i know it sounds weird, but trust me, so basically does anyone know of a producion car that was painted in a similar colour to caramel topping & or Pascal caramel lollie?

Chrysler had a "bronze" brown that may be what you are looking for.

Wasn't there a caramel/brown Morris Marina? - at least you could stay in the Leyland fold.
P76 had one too I think.

Camino Gold is the one that springs to mind. It was used right across the BL range, even Jags.

It's more of a mustard/yellow though.

I seem to have old 70's Chryslers in my mind. In my mind's eye, I can see the old coots driving them even now...

They were very caramel...
...Or bone colour or orange seems to be the limit of the colours I remember.

The other option is to take the Caramel Topping bottle into dulux and get them to match it. They can match anything they say

Way to go! 8) Was the CL equipped with the NASA engineered ELB? Nasty piece of work that was....

Did my Apprenticeship in the early 80's at a Chrysler dealer. About 6 months in I was given a Charger to do a tune up on. Drove the beast in (it was Silver) and opened the bonnet. Lots of Webers, the boss wouldn't let me touch it. It even had the Bathurst fuel tank option (nothing but Fuel Tank in the boot). :shock:

I did get to drive some frightening 2.6 Sigma Turbo's though. Very very fast. :D :D But also very very poor handling.:shock: :shock:

There is an old Datto code (920 Gold) which is kind of caramel like. I'lll see if I can find a pic for you.
