Probably different in the States but in the UK and parts of the Commonwealth BRG is a very sought after colour as it's traditional for British sporting marques since the 20s. Back home in NZ, if you are selling a MG, Jag, Healey, etc you can actually roughly add 10% to the price if it's BRG.

You get less money here if the car is green.
In fact, new car manufacturers here do not make a true dark green color an option on cars anymore. They sit on the lot forever and they learn from their mistakes.

You mean the urethane fender ends necessitated by government mandated 5mph bumpers. :doh:

No, I mean both right and left front fenders.

My first car was a British-racing/forest green. One of my favorite colors.

My first car, a 71 240Z was British racing green. I did paint it red, later on!

Thats not all bad, when I bought my Tacoma, the dealer had two in green, leftovers, I got a great deal. The money I saved can go into after market parts.

lol lol No aftermarket parts can make it look less green.
I didn’t say that foreign car makers had learned their lesson just yet but that goes to show that they are learning. lol lol

Figures. 1970s color. You came to your senses eventually.

I love them both Scotty.
Forest Green was the color I painted my Toyota.
It came off an anniversary Corvette I think, I don't know I got it out of a paint book.
James, the 70's was all about green, brown, yellow, and orange.
One of the first cars I remember as a kid, was our Nova.
Green with a white top, and dark green interior.
My brother had an orange 76 Camaro with white interior.
The neighbor 3 doors down had a Seville in yellow, while the next door neighbor had a Seville in green.
And the neighbor 4 doors down had a Crown Victoria...in brown.
70's. eace:

British Racing Green + tan leather interior = Classic. I've had three cars with that color scheme, all British made.

All of which likely had electrical problems and were reliable two weeks out of every month. lol lol

Yes and that is yet another reason why the 70s sucked. That is another color you rarely see on cars anymore brown. I mean I understand why but you just don't see it even on imports who don't know any better about colors.

Got the old '48 Plymouth Special Deluxe out yesterday evening and gave it a good wash job and a shine. Ready to do some driving this weekend.

Nice! I am guessing you got the problem with it fixed.

Well, that's a story in itself.

I'd asked several folks about what may have been causing the noise. I got a couple good suggestions as what to do to help narrow down the possible source of the trouble. So, I take the old car out for a run and wait for the noise to start. I drive a couple miles and no noise. I drive a couple more miles and still no noise. Hell, I drive about 25 miles and still no noise. Whatever it was must have "fixed itself" some way. No matter what I do now, I can't get the thing to make that noise again.

I guess that's a good thing, right?

That would be good if it was me.

It's good with me for now, although I'm glad I have AAA and a cell phone - just in case ...

 

[Big Man]

With the old Plymouth running good now, I took her out for a little ride to Lake James State Park. It was a great day for a ride and a great place to just sit back and enjoy the view.
