Does anyone know a paint code for Olympia Beer Gold?

 

[Broncobowsher]

Buy a can of beer, take it to the local paint store and have it scanned.

^^^lol^^^^

Might want to buy 6 or more so you get a good average...
and empty the cans the night before the trip to the paint store.

 

[Broncobowsher]

Bring a couple of full cans, they might sample the color if they get to keep some.

Too funny. Years ago, somebody asked me for the paint code too and so I asked Willie Stroppe. He sort looked at me like I was an idiot but he was kind enough to say that they simply copied the color of an Olympia beer can.

Reminds me of when I was working at a Mustang restoration place in 2000 when gone in 60 seconds came out, the remake. A guy came in and asked if Carroll Shelby put the Go-Baby-Go button in all of them or just a few. I said... Just a few....

Do they even still make Olympia beer?

Yes, it's part of our training program here at Baja Broncos headquarters. It's our north of the border beer.

Here's an old can from Parnelli's office and one from our 'training program' that Andrew mentions.

Nice... I'll have to do some "training" with you guys if I'm ever out that way!

The second one .

Gone in 60 second one secs?

 

[rydog1130]

Gone in 60 second one secs?

If its the second one they should have named it "gone in 2 minutes" or "120 seconds Later"

 

[Broncobowsher]

The second one was just a lot of fuzzy CGI and camera shake on what little real action there was. If you can't make a good shot, blur it and shake it so people can't tell.

At least big Oly was in the original (1974).
