Is Siennabraun ugly or a cool 70s color?

I like that color....and if you aren't in love with tan or tobacco interior, I'd go black interior with that color...would look awesome IMO!

I'm almost finished with my tan-to-black interior swap and it's coming out great! looks nice with the brown. I'll post up pics soon

I've been scolded before for spelling Sienabraun with 2 "n's", but somehow 2 "n's" appears to have become the norm! The 1975 color chart and the original underhood stickers used 1 "n" only. So I'm learning from my past mistakes and passing on the tip: Sienabraun!

Neighbor found a one owner car 76 Siennabraun.

I could not pass it regardless of the color.

It's growing on me :)

I owned a Siennabraun 75 for about 12 years. When i finally repainted the car everyone asked what colour i was going to paint it. I said the same colour it is now. Everyone said "but it's BROWN!" i said, "yup that's how it came from the factory". never regretted it once. As an aside the colour was a HUGE hit with the ladies. That and most everyone was very complimentary since you just done see them in the funky 70 colours anymore except for Inka. So I'd keep it Sienna. Attached is a picture of the car back around 2003.

Cheers,

WOW!

The 76 that is now in my possession will stay the same color.

Will probably use a turbo spoiler and the e30 steel wheels (alpina look alike).

Very nice look!

I have a '76 '02 in Siennabraun. With 35 year

old paint, it was ugly and I hated it. Now that

car is freshly painted, I love it. I did ask the

painter to increase the size and the amount

of the metallic particles. It looks great in the sun!
