Chuck,

I would expect that a Pantone color match can be found for that color. The question on my end would be "which version" of the color? Most of those paints were quite different when new than even 5 years after it was painted. The main thing that happens to these old original colors is that the clear topcoat turns yellow rather rapidly. One may have two bike the "same color" and they will not be the same color. I've had issues where there was not complete agreement as to which shade is being replicated. I guess you need to decide which variation is most to your likeing.

Long shot, but does anyone have a Pantone Matching System number for the Alex SiNGER house color, "Bleu Foncé?"

Before anyone jumps to any conclusions, no I'm not getting my bubble gum pink 1959 A.S. Sportif repainted...
