OOPS! Lost part of that last post. There seem to be two white colors in 1958, Sebring White and Pearl white. Does anyone know the tonal characteristics of these whites,(bright white, antique white,etc.)

I think Pearl White is more of a typical off-white shade. I KNOW that Sebring White is somewhat bluish and was more commonly used as a second color on "duotone" Heralds and such.

Thanks Andrew, I was looking for a off-white shade that would go with my interior(deep red). I've heard of a color called Old English White but don't know if that's just another name for Pearl White.

"Old English White" is a little like "British Racing Green"; there likely are hundreds of variants! But the typical Old English White is probably what you're looking for, being a bit creamier than a pure white (which to my taste would also be fine with most shades of red interiors).
