Paint chips for 68 and 69 Datsuns

This is something I found at a local Swap Meet. I thought it would be a good idea to share it with anyone who might be interested. Keep in mind this was scanned from a page that is over thirty years old and has been colour balanced to a yellowed background. I may be interested in producing a higher resolution raw scan but it would be limited by the space available.

Below is a table showing the usage by year
