I remember a neighbor had an Impala convertible in this color when I was a kid and I loved it.

Wow this thread has a lot of input....

What a color brings out in us......

O I don't mind it on someone else's car.....just not mine !

I parted out an Impala SS HDTP as pictured ....no body wanted to buy sheet metal from it.
They said they didn't want pink parts on their car..... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img]

Royal Plum got it's start as Plum Mist Metallic in Canada in 1966. In the Nova and Acadian line, it was an SS and SD color only. Was that the same for 1966 Chevelle and Impala in Canada? In fact, it was the only dedicated Nova SS and Acadian SD color. You could have any other colors you wanted and any two tone combinations.

When I was a young disc jockey, I was doing an on location broadcast at our local Chevrolet dealer for the 1965 model introduction. There was a beautiful Evening Orchid/white trim Impala SS as the showroom center piece. Nobody had noticed, except me, that it had a 327 emblem on the left front fender and 283 on the right. So it was in the mid 60's.

I know in 1966 it was available for the Riviera and possibly others - maybe the Toronado?

Mid-year 1966, Pontiac released it too but I've never seen one in this color.

It is perhaps my favorite color from the era. Love Iris Mist too.

Absolutely my all time favorite '65 GTO color. 20 years ago I got to drive an Iris Mist/Ivory/Ivory '65 GTO convertible, 3x2 4speed with Hurst Wheels. It's still the standard by which I judge....
