  Build pics. When I found it, it was a different kind of nugget. L0L! My favorite part is the Schwinn handgrip for a footpeg.

 When I was a kid, we had a car that was a similar color to the 550. I'm thinking it was a 62 Buick LeSabre, I never knew what to say when someone asked what color it was. My wife and I see greens and grays differently, maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway, I love that color.
