Colors listed above in bold denote optional Firemist paint finishes. These paints feature a higher percentage of metallic particles in them for a more reflective shimmer.
   Consider the difference in appearance:

Eldorado in standard form with bare painted roof...

Fleetwood Eldorado in optional Topaz Gold Firemist (code 94).
 
  ...and Eldorado with optional vinyl roof...

Note: The popularity of the vinyl roof had grown considerably since its introduction, and the majority of all 1968 Eldorados built were equipped with the $132 padded roof option. Eldorados that left the factory without this option are highly sought after today, as many collectors feel a "bare top" Eldorado better emphasizes the car's beautiful lines. Vinyl roofs were available in 5 colors for 1968: White, Black, Dark Blue, Dark Brown, and Sandalwood.
