I'll have to agree with the color of cars today.
Although computers now come up with the colors, sometimes I see a new car and wonder who clicked "okay" on that creation!
What happened to colors like "Fathom Green?"

Now there is a way to ruin a perfectly good Camaro:

I'm not just talking 70's.

What about the two-tone jobs of the fifties?

That is one of the things I don't miss. Hippie vinyl tops, wierd 70s colors like avocado green, poo poo brown harvest gold and other crazy colors that belonged on a Miami Vice episode. A lot of dope was smoked to get those colors across. :p

I miss colors like green on cars. I miss when cars weren't the same colors as today's vinyl siding...
Brewster Green, Channel Green, Commercial Green, Drake Green or Highland Green?

Windsor Maroon and Phoenix Brown are nice, too, particularly with Vermillion or Straw wire Wheels.


I've also always had a soft spot for the Big Blue Oaklands.
