It is Butch Leal's "Suddenly III" '63 Z11 Impala. All I can find is black and white pics. I want to know the exterior color and also the the interior color. Thanks, Larry

Judging by some of the other "colors" in the photo, I'm fairly comfortable saying it was black, it could have been a really really dark blue though.. :dunno: I'd be real surprised if it was a really dark red, or green. Been a number of years since I thought in the grey scale though, so it's a only a fairly educated guess.

Looks red to me....

I dunno, it's a pretty good match to that backdrop on the fence in the background, both in the sun, and in the shade... I doubt it's red too...

Acording to a conversation on chevelle.com, there is an article in the 1963 July issue of Popular Hot Rodding on his car.

don't know how far your interest goes, but for 16 bucks, should solve your mystery

Also, I think Photoshop has a feature that converts B&W to color, so if you know anyone with the program, maybe they can do it?

Well, most of his cars after 54 were red but his original 62 was Blue and I could say that the pic could definately be blue to me. But not 100 percent.
