We're narrowing in on this color, I have several samples working... Here's a few of the cards we sprayed, and the Dealer's Album photo from above, and a photo of my original car I took back in 1971. (And of course all the usual warnings about judging colors on a computer or phone..). But virtually everybody who looks at these picks the one labeled #1 on the handle, the second from the left. This is the card which was generated by getting into the PPG Central Library of old colors and their so called field formulas - and a very patient and knowledgeable guy behind the counter! It also happens to match my memory the best. I believe #3 is from @BSL409 's formula, above (thank you again!). We're getting close.

I get all my paint materials from either Napa or Federated Auto parts. They can usually mix colors from the paint codes.
