I have a 57 Suburban and it was supposedly a Cal-Trans vehicle, I have tried to look up the color code but it isn't listed. So I am trying to find the exact color. I think it would be cool to restore it to original colors!

Have you asked any one over at Cal Tran? Perhaps they can help? Most of the time, city vehicles get repainted by a local shop or many times, right at the maintenance shop of the city transportation shop. MTCW rico_bob
