Default Does ANYBODY have an Oyster Gold Crossfire?!

From pictures that I've seen, it's that tan/champagne color. I would also say it's the rarest of colors.

EDIT...

I found an eBay listing for one...actually doesn't half bad.

There was one at the lot where I bought mine. It actually did not look bad, although, I agree looks like an old ladies color.

And it's not a good match with the interior color either.

Ya, there really isn't an interior color that would go well with the exterior...

We bought the oyster gold crossfire, Although I doubt my wife would like being called a little old lady. Actually we receive a lot of complements on the color.

As has been said many times before on these forums, when they're clean there is no color these cars don't look good in.

<<< Is over Sixty little old lady, and I think the color really stands out, like the Alabaster one, this little old lady bought.

I do recall hearing some guys are colored blind!

Def: Little old ladies color - Go to your local college and drive by the girls dorm parking lot. Count the number of Oyster Gold cars you see parked there.
Now, go to the parking lot outside a taping of Oprah or the View. Now you know what is and is not a little old ladies color.

I did not mean to offend you or call your wife a little old lady. My wife likes the color too.

While I know you posted this like three years ago, I bought an Oyster Gold one in May 2009 and I LOVE it! It has the Vanilla/Charcoal interior and my husband changed out the rims so the car is HOT! "old Lady" color, my a**!!! LOL. Sonza

There is an Oyster Gold Roadster running around Griffin, GA (my home town for the past ten years, till I got married). Not my favorite color at all, but it IS a Crossfire.

I was at a cruise-in with my Crossfire, a little old lady came up to me & said she had a car just like mine, except hers was Oyster Gold.

I've got to be honest that I did not mind the Oyster Gold before I bought it, but was not my first choice (I really liked Alabaster). It does, however, go with the silver trim and wheels very well and is a classy color. On my cross-country trip, I have had many unprovoked compliments on the car and especially the color. After the car show at Amelia island, I saw where they got the idea for the color.

Check out Garys Kodak Gallery slide show of the 2009 Carlisle event,

KODAK Gallery | Photo Merchandise

Slide #72 shows James (Jediracer)'s 1st. place award winning Oyster Gold Roadster. Looked pretty darn good with his aftermarket wheels.
