Check out all those wonderful REAL colors on those cars! They look alive! Look how different each one looks from the other! Yellow, green, blue, brown, etc. Sure, Lime Green or Lemon Yellow may not look all that mean, but hey!
I LOVE the yellow on the Cutlass! I miss my old '72 girl, sorta. Nice to cruise around in, but drove like a boat. Spin the wheel and 3 minutes later she stars turning the curve, scraping door handles on the way! Oh, and the '68 Plymouth Fury near it. Nothing said evil like the front end on that car!
Good job on the 'stang, but did you really freak him out and take him for a ride? Even I find the hopped up Mustang like V8 sound with the lack of shaking and rattling disconcerting. It's just not usual to find that sound and performance and have the car feel like it was well built. At least not for someoen raised on muscle cars. |
Not the stang driver, but did have an f-body owning friend riding shot gun with me last cruise night - he was a little nervous at times yup!
But I'll be riding shotgun with him next time out so he can even the score *L*.
Re Caspian Blue and old car colours - they do stand out from that era no doubt. But the Caspian Blue does get lots of kudos from those same owners believe it or not - it's shade shifting ability from blue to green to black is what I like most about it. And other car nuts asking "just what colour IS that anyway" is always a good conversation starter on the car in general.
