Denvers shop colors were pearl orange and purple. Candy red was a very popular color as well with gold pin striping or designs.

Got this about a month ago at a swapmeet in Ohio, it's for the inset of a truck tailgate. Seller said it was from a friend of his in New york.

Here's one for example... could have been build by Denver's for sure..!
