Crystal Cranks

Saw this on Pistonheads what a great colour the add describes it as Cognac Brown. I have seen a 928 in a similar colour before but never 964. The new 997 is a available in a brown now aswell.

More of a 'stealth', blend-in color, IMHO, than a great color. Looks at home not making waves.
I prefer zestier, or primary, colors (like your blue!) to celebrate a zesty marque & model.
Perfect for someone else, no doubt -- just not for me. Thanks for bring it out for show!

I think that was a popular 70's color. That and plaid interior.

Speaking of 'stealth' color schemes... Hi Ilk!

Blend-in who?

I'd call it Copper - and I'd call it great looking!

If that had my family tartan on the inside I would just *have* to buy it.

Looks like the old school copper crayon from the crayola box. You know- the one that would never stick to the paper very well....

One of my ex's had a 944 in that colour - it wasn't too bad (although it doesn't quite rank as a favourite colour.....). And it did have the lovely check seats.

Here is my 1978 930 in Copper Brown Metallic.

Hard to tell but it could have been special order copper brown. My first 79 SC was this color. I always wanted a turbo in this color Classic late 70's look and still a beauty IMO.

Looks great on the 930, but I just don't think it suits the 964. Don't ask me why, I really couldn't say the reason.

You don't really want to know what I think of that colour.

Not 100% sure they are the same color. The tobacco brown is much richer looking in person. I also think the black accents on the 911 vs the lack of rubber and stone guards etc make a big difference in the way the color looks.

My SC was a very nice car in tobacco and I still wish I had it today made for a great combo with the tan interior. Wish I had a picture it was very nice in person and looks even better on the turbo body.
