Petty Blue was not one of the "high impact" colors... it is less rare than others... typically it is the other options that determine the rarity of a car - not that color doesn't come into play. Tell us more about your car!

Rare or not that would be pretty cool to see on a 70 Duster!

I'm probably just going to paint it lime green

From the picture, that doesn't look like Petty Blue to me. More like B5 blue.

The fender tag would tell you for sure. It should be on the drivers side front inner fender. Like near where the battery sits

Oh ok, it looked too light, is that a common color on these then

the VIN? left corner of the dash - there also is (or should be) a fender tag - which will net you more info once decoded

Dunno if it's rare, but if I bought a '70 Duster, that's the color it would end up!

B5 blue is one of the most common colors, along with several shades of green

Don't know about the rarity of either color, but here's a couple pics for reference. The Dart is B5, the wagon is Petty Blue.

im thinking b3, looks like a powder blue to me. if you can get in the trunk you are most likely to find unfaded paint there or maybee in the door jambs.

Damn damn damn that wagon is just plain SEXY.


DEATH TO ALL MINIVANS AND THE IDIOTS WHO DESIGNED THEM.

If you ever want to sell the wagon hit me up.

"Petty Blue" was not metallic. That might make things easier to figure out.

That's what I was going to say, I thought Petty Blue was just that, while the "B" blues all had metallic.

Any one here ever seen the Jake Blue and Elwood Blue Harley D color combo? It's rare but quite nice.
