If you sat down to order your car new at your local dealership back when our cars were new, you very likely would have paged through one of these books. They typically show the different paint colors, recommended colors for stripes, interiors and even two-tone tops. There are also actual cloth and vinyl samples for the different interior patterns and swatches for the vinyl top colors and grains as well.

Special thanks to Leaburn Patey for scanning and sharing his collection with us.
