Ray The 1963/64 color numbers are RM A-1645 "Highlander Green Iridescent" or Dupont DUCO 4287 or Dupont DULUX 181-95609. It's named Highlander Green on Lincolns and Cascade Green on Thunderbirds. CSX2367 is the 289 Cobra that Gotham Ford ordered in green and with no green cobras in the pipeline from AC or in stock, the Shelby factory re-painted a blue cobra with this American paint color. Joe A, the original owner who we acquired it from, told a story about his first drive in his new Cobra, in the rain, when the windshield wipers came loose. The dealer determined that the car had been shipped with the trim loosely bolted back on after the repaint, probably in order to allow a full cure before tightening everything.
Others have told me that Lincoln Highlander Green eventually became Ivy Green on Fords but I have not tried to confirm that. In the sunlight, Highlander green looks darker to me than Ivy Green. Dave
