It's a wonder that the artisans in Pontiac's paint shops didn't just go out of their minds!

Take a gander at what must have been a typical paint chart as whipped up by Greyhound's Styling Department.

I'd like to see a paint chart for more complicate schemes such as the Fifth Avenue Coach & Chicago Motor Coach GM's of the '40's and early '50's!

Getting back to the subject of Greyhound paint specs, here's a couple of non-order sheet specs in a more simplified presentation. These were the new bicentennial schemes as of July 1, 1974.
