I've seen coronado beige listed in old lit but never vovanic or lily.. maybe somone can correct me though, wouldn't be the first time

I can drive the 40 by and we can compare the colors.... they look very similar

Well, along with installing some fresh windshield glass Treeroot brought over the holy grail of Toyota paint codes. We sifted though all the old colors Compared with some different paint spots on the cruiser. under the window frame was some really clean non faded paint but in the end a chip from the glove box led us to believe this is the correct color. 1276 Sundune white. I believe mine was built in dec 63 like el jefe's and it stamped with a 4 on the frame for 1964 model. Tan cruiser.
