Mine was actually a mistake. I had originally planned on Harbor Blue, which is a '56 passenger color that's pretty close to the original Crystal Blue mine came with. The paint store I use didn't have the mix codes for anything pre-'55, and they didn't have commercial codes that far back, so I went with what was close. The fellow that mixed the paint (no longer there) got the wrong code, he used the one for the next color up, which was Skyline Blue. Since I didn't paint the truck until several months later, I didn't realize what happened until I shot it. But since it turned out very well, and I liked the color, I left it as it was. If I eve repaint, I may go back to the OE color, as I have the correct code.
