1968 Wimbledon White Color Code

[Adam D]

Working on my 1968 restoration and I cannot find the color code for Wimbledon White (fairly certain that is the original color the hard tops were painted). Anyone know that info? Thanks in advance...

My original hardtop is Wimbledon White. My automotive paint store looked it up on their spec sheet for that year and matched it perfectly. I don't have the paint code as I used up all the paint.

Thats for the 1968 mustang, but the colors should be the same code.

Edit to add: I just checked…. Ford trucks and mustangs both call it M1619. Most shops will be able to cross-reference that code into their brand paint.

Scanned paint cards indicate it was Ditzler / PPG 8378

Search "8378" on here and you'll find more info.

I found a can I kept for reference. It is UPOL brand M1619A. Same as jeffncs cited code number.

Wimbledon White is also the correct color for the grill, painted bumpers and wheels for 1968.

We took an unfaded inspection cover from the back pillar of the top and got a match. Wimbledon number was to yellow/cream.
