To that end, when it was time to paint mine, I bought some plastic model kits and painted them in a few of the eye-popping 70-up colors; and like some say; they just didn't look right.
Then one day I was 60 miles from home in my family car, and passed a GM dealer's lot, and there it was; a brilliant red beckoning me. So I pulled in and what I found was a MonteCarlo, maybe a mid 90s? Red had not even been on my radar.
So three winters in the bodyshop, bringing money as I had it, she finally had color.
