Fleet orders could be built in any color the customer was willing to pay for. That was the whole idea.

Talked with my boss this morning a retired member who worked form 1970 until 2000 but in Western Canada. Theses vehicles could have gone anywhere in Canada when built. Keith do you remember what year and if it was trucks or cars that were the purple and red. Were they purple exterior with red trim or ?

Some time between 1979 and 1985 ish.

The trucks were red and purple on the exterior (I don't remember the interior color), with the paint break occuring at the belt line (lower edge of the side window). My recollection is that they were Suburbans.
