(Steel Gray : Dodge : 1963 - 1990)
At PaintRef.com we have records of this paint for over 27 years of use.
This gray automotive paint color is most commonly known as Steel Gray. Other common color promotional names include Medium Gray, Gray, and Valiant Silver Gray. The color formulation has been used between 1963 and 1990, primarily by Dodge; but also by Plymouth, Company Fleet Vehicles. We have records of this color appearing on the model of Dart and Polara. See the full detailed list below.
The one Company/Organization with Fleet Vehicles using this color is: Roadway Express.
Some Chrysler paint manufacturing codes come in two forms, the short 1 to 3 digit model/year code which changes frequently and a longer code which does not change. One of these longer codes which we track is the DT or Dodge Truck or Fleet code. This is one of only a very few DT codes that starts with the letters "DT" and does not end in a 4 digit number. We are not sure about the use of this paint, it is probably very early or a basic color. Codes in the DT1000 to DT1999 range are generally white shades. These DT codes do not change over the years for a particular paint formulation; therefore, it is the best code to track the usage of Chrysler paint. In many cases Chrysler has assigned DT codes to popular paint from other manufacturers to use as special order paints.
The DT paint set is one of the few that includes many of the official US Military paint colors.
In this case, DT1251 appears to be a special order paint for a popular early paint named Steel Gray by Dodge.
