Default Pics of Platinum SC300

Hi, can anyone point me to some pics of a "platinum" SC300, I ahve not had the oppurtunity to see one in person. I have heard there is a blueish tint to it, can anyone confirm this.

And I was told "platinum" is in the paint code, and that is what is written on the title, I did a cursory search for dealer pamphlets from 1997 and did not have any luck.

Thanks in advance.

Bah, again there appears to be a shadow on the upper half of the hood. How about people share their impressions of the color, does it have a noticable blue tint? And is there a competing silver color "Century metallic silver" I think, or millenium?

IMO its one of my fav SC colors, it always seems to look 'fresh' unlike some other colors that tell their age the minute you see them. Definitely was a color I was looking for during my SC search!

I think it looks nice with chrome wheels as well!

It is the exact color I was dead set on during my search for an SC400 (along with black interior). 1st picture you can see the bluish tint. The second picture it was a bit cloudy and looked dark silver.

The great thing is it sort of changes depending on the light or brightness. Sometimes it even looks like there is pearl in the paint. It's a great color. I love black but this platinum is taking over my heart.
