What is seen on the inside of the door is factory primer with very little top coat. We looked in several other areas with much better original paint coverage. All we saw was some form of silver paint. Had you been standing there telling me it was EO I would have laughed at you. EO is much darker than either silver mentioned.

I'm well aware of how the car was initially ordered. EO was not a current model year color. So Central Office contacts the dealer proposing a substitution. His wife worked there; says ok. Maybe never mentioned it. That car was ordered 47 years ago and there is no mention of EO on the original paperwork. The "paperwork" you have posted was done decades later. 47 years is long time. Look up #81 on AutoColorLibrary.com under '69 Oldsmobile-looks very similar to EO but in reality is much lighter. Maybe that's why the owner was disappointed?

None of you guys saw the original paint. We did.
