Further to this factory colour question I was looking through my parts list manuals and came up with some interesting tidbits. For the C8s they made the side curtains in matte green (should we say khaki?) and light stone for the 40 to 42 order years. For the C8As the curtains for serials before 484---00001 were matte green, light stone or brown (42 and 43 order years). After that serial they were matte green, light stone, brown, or olive drab (44 order year). This seems to indicate that when they came up with a new colour it was in addition to the older colours. If they were making these colour curtains for the 44 order year they must have been painting some vehicles to suit.
