Over the years it seems I and Noland were thinking and discovering the
Issue of C1's original paint colors . I started Vintage Corvettes in
Southern Ca.1971 in the 60's worked on many C1's ,finding the paint color in
Trunks and other markings. When I was thinking of starting a C1 only
Organization and asked Noland to be the president we held our first national
Meet in Nevada city Ca.1987 Where I live , 7 people showed up , so having
Plenty of time on our hands I said lets go to Lanny's salvage yard and find
Parts. Many did, they filled up my station wagon and the top rack leaving
Little room for any one . Noland and I talked about what a great time to
Look for the paint markings having so many bodies to look at. In the second
Issue of Straight Talk Mag.1987 Noland put to gather what we learned for "OUR"
Members in a effort to help owners show and verifie to NCRS what color their Corvette
is. Back then NCRS said they never made a black 58 Corvette.
Later reading the NCRS Restorer Mag. I read about what we wrote with no mention given to where it came from as it was with many parts we wrote about. So here is the original Article of 1988 for any one interested.
Also see second posting. 63 was a printing mistake.
