1965 Lincoln Color breakdown

Any Lincoln fact related question can be posted here. Questions such as how many Contintenal convertibles were produced in MY1965? How much was the Town Car option in 1969? What size of tire was standard on a 1953 Premiere? or Does the Mark II retractible prototype still exist?

martiauto.com does not have reports for 65 Lincolns. According to the Benson Ford Research Center, In the summer of 1970, a museum fire destroyed many Ford Motor Company production records.

Too bad the only existing internet at that time was the strategic defense network. Could've come in useful.

I periodically see the major paint companies putting our surveys on the most popular car colors for the year.
Perhaps one could find a 1965 survey and make an educated guess on the percentage that were green for that year.

Silver, black and white are usually the top colors by percentage.
Green on the other hand, is generally at the low end.

I have the '65 duPont Color Usage Survey info as part of the breakdown I updated last year for 1965 T-birds on Vintage Thunderbird Club International's website. I'm attaching it with Lincoln color names following the Ford/T-bird ones.
