I thought the FIAs were Viking Blue (or Princess Alice Blue) ?:confused:

yes i know, but are there beside princess blue and viking blue which are metallic colors, perhaps any special light blue paint in NOT metallic ?

Neither AC nor Ford offered a color such as you describe for the Cobra.

The Sunbeam Tiger/Alpine had a similar non-metallic color called Wedgewood Blue.

Not sure that a Ferrari color would have done it for CS.

This is the closest I've seen. Not sure if it's metallic. I would look into British, Ford colors of the time for ideas... Jaguar, Aston, Morris, Mini too... Here are a couple. The Powder Blue might be up your alley (Martin Senour collection)

Guessing that is a continuation car CSX7000 series.... If so it may reference paint color in the book?
The yellow car looks like a 7000 car I know. ;)
