Oh, that's right. They did a poor job explaining the Sports Car Conversion, and the only time I have ever heard of it is when it's involved in making a COPO a "double" COPO. I know MacNiesh's book is supposed to be pretty good, but still, it makes no sense why they'd make an exception for these colors.

Gotta agree with you on this one. I know I have seen original paint fathom green and burnished brown big block cars with black rear tail panels... Maybe some of the dark colors didn't get some of the lower rocker blackouts (?) but I think any SS396 car would have the rear panel painted black. bkhpah would be the guy to ask for sure.
