(Gold : Plymouth : 1964 - 1965)This gold automotive paint color is most commonly known as simply 'Gold'. Other common color promotional names include Regal Gold and Barracuda Gold. The color formulation has been used between 1964 and 1965, primarily by Plymouth; but also by Chrysler, Dodge. We have records of this color appearing on the following models: Valiant, Barracuda, and Belvedere. See the full detailed list below.
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 DT6000 to DT6999 range are generally brown beige or gold 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, DT6182 appears to be a special order paint for a popular early paint named
Gold by Plymouth.
