yeah I realised I stuffed up bigtime when I added the 2nd photo & it came up first ! I love that cream colour, it was fairly common in the '30's thru to end of the '50's then virtually suddenly disappeared as an offering on cars, & nobody ever seemed to respray cars in that colour, I guess it was just forgotten about, although it is interesting that a rather washed out recreation is available on New Beetle Cabriolets
