Dave,
I would imagine it is Corinthian White. That is the color used on 61 bodies that were white.

I would imagine the wheels and bumper matched.

Is your uni white?

Most auto paint supply stores should be able to get a formula for it. I painted mine with BC/CC.

I would look into powdercoating the wheels, will last a lot longer and tougher , the bumpers too if cost isn't too bad. :2cents:

The body is black. The bumpers are white and so are the wheels. They are kind of an off white. (might be because it is old) I purchased it from the Original owner and they said it was all orig.
I might check with O'Rleilly's and see if I can get some.
Powder coat isn't in the budget right now but, may be in the future.
Thanx guys!

Corinthian white is an off white. Google up paint color chips for your year. I don't believe that the wheels and bumpers were a Corinthian more of a straight white color.

That is it! Saw a picture of a 61 t-bird in that color.
Thanx everyone!
