Wow, that's a sweet car! I don't normally care for silver/grey on cars, but I REALLY like it on that car!

 

Just Guessing i would say it would be a satin/matte finish, but I have no real clue. If you are trying to restore one exact, all I can say is dig dig dig for info. I had never heard of the Silver Special and as far as I know had never seen one, but it IS a Sweet looking ride in that color combo. MAYBE some one can find/knows for sure. Dont know if the fendertag decoding would give a hint either on the 'finish' of the stripe, unless it has a paint code itself.

 

Thanks, it is in for paint right now, will try to post a pic next week.

 

Thanks, that newspaper ad was cool.

 

Thanks, it had an all original body and interior--it is being painted this weekend.

 

We had it decoded by Govier, but, it doesn't say any thing about the paint for the stripe. I agree, it was probably a satin finish. I will keep looking, maybe the Chrysler Historical Society?? It is an all original body and interior--being painted this weekend. Thanks for your help.

 

Call the owner of the silver special you found that says its an original survivor-says only mechanicals where rebuilt or replaced, no paint work has been done-I will message you his #
