Probably a locally-sourced paintjob for a local fleet customer. I'd bet they started out as white and the dealer had them painted for whoever ordered them. GM rarely does custom paint orders anymore and then only for regular fleet buyers like Mary Kay.

Hey Robin......
A lot of guessing here. So, why not stop in and inquire about them....if you have time.
I know several years ago, GM had a fleet of taxi cabs in SoCal. Really a good deal for the taxi companies because essentially all they paid was the "normal" fleet pricing. GM painted the cars the preferred color and maintained them, above the normal "service" kinds of stuff. They had some experimental components and taxi testing was a good way to check the durability.
I don't think it would be financially beneficial for a company to have the dealer repaint. Once a color, out of the norm, is determined GM could run them through the line as a group......much like they do the upscale/upgrade colors of Cadillac, Corvette, etc. Dependending on quantity, maybe a $1000 per. A dealer couldn't do it for that.
