One of our customers had a '69 SS 427 Impala convertible. It was drop-dead gorgeous, but it was only 3 years old at the time. It had a light color interior (I think "parchment?") and was a color that I would call "amethyst". Man, that was a nice looking ride. I went and looked up paint colors from '69, and that color wasn't on the list. Probably special order.
I rented one like that almost new and took it on a vacation to Georgetown Lake in Montana in 1971 July ,, it had a far rear seat that when sitting in it ,,you looked at road behind you .. comfortable riding car great for the family
