Here's my first cuda. Petty blue. No fender tag and from Pennsylvania. Rust bucket.
I didn't really like the petty blue at first but it definitely grew on me.

I've heard corporate blue ,basin blue and petty blue
If- I mean if, you look at the original paint charts, it is BASIN STREET BLUE for Plymouth, Super Blue for Dodge. I fail to understand as "mopar guys" as nutty we are, and, as the corvette people claim that we are worse than them, ( I am ok with that) that we as mopar guys still call tb3 petty blue. Can someone explain this to me ?

I assumed it was similar to the color Richard Petty painted his cars? If someone hears Petty Blue, that is the color they think of. But I get your point.

Basin Street Blue and Super Blur are both pretty lame names for Mopar car colors. Petty Blue implies a relationship to the greatest NASCAR driver of all time, mostly driving Mopars. That is a simple response to a simple question. Petty Blue it is......

Also, whatever you want to call this color in that state up north, in Ohio we call it Petty Blue. Go Bucks...

How about just call it TB3 if it’s a tb3 car….at any rate I would paint back the original color because it’s rare and badass!!!
