Y2 = Butternut Yellow (Y) with Black top (2)

Welcome to the internet's only site dedicated to the first-generation Butternut Yellow Camaro. Why Butternut Yellow? Well, for no other reason than because I have one, and because no one else seems to pay them much attention. Although the name of this site is Y2 Camaro, we're partial to all Butternut Yellow Camaro's so we'll be featuring YY, Y1 and any other combination cars as well.

Butternut Yellow was available as a color choice for the Camaro in 1967, 1968 and even early 1969 before it was replaced by the much brighter Daytona Yellow. Although Butternut Yellow cars seem scarce today, it was actually the second most popular color choice for 1967 Camaro's with 14% of that years production sporting it. In 1968 it was the fifth most popular color at 8%, and by 1969 it had dropped to 1% of production before Butternut Yellow was replaced with Daytona Yellow. (source Camaro Research Group)

Most Butternut Yellow cars came with a black interior, although Gold and White were also popular choices. We've even seen a 69 with a yellow houndstooth interior. If the car was a convertible or had a vinyl top, the color choice for the top was either black or white.

Butternut Yellow was also used on other Chevrolet models such as the Chevelle, Corvette, Impala and Nova. It was also available on other GM models under other names. For Oldsmobile it was called Saffron. Over at Pontiac it was known as Mayfair Maize. And on Buicks it was referred to as Cameo Cream.
