The original colour (or color as all you Americans incorrectly spell it)
was called "Silvia Gold", it was a metallic frosty green colour, it
didn't look anything like gold. Initially this was the only colour
available but some very late cars were also available in white. In the
Silvia's sales brochure the colour appears to be silver. In Australia
the 410 Bluebird was available in Silvia Gold too. (The first Nissans
with metallic paint were the 1964 Cedrics, which were available in
metallic red and green.)
A word of warning. If you are over 6 foot tall you will have big
problems fitting inside a Silvia. I am 5 foot 11 inches and my head rubs
on the head lining. When you see a bump in the road you have to duck to
avoid getting a concussion.
To learn more about the Silvia you can check out the Silvia page on my
website.
