    When I was a kid my granny lived in Anderson, and she let me and the neighbors kid walk up town to see a movie,"Return to Macon County". For a very long time I wanted a yaller 57 Chevrolet with baby moon hubcaps. I'm sure my memory is a lot better than the actual car.
    Can't believe nobody mentioned that other yellow movie car by now.

    Dammit Danny, you had to do this, didn't you!:p Last car I built was an OT 74 Maverick, painted it sunshine yellow with black Grabber stripes on the hood and a black tail light panel. Bugs loved it, I did too! Been tossing around some color choices for the 47 Lincoln, yellow is one of them, but I just can't bring myself to put yellow on a Lincoln! I'm thinking it should be a more subdued color.
    But I love yellow, our 86 Vette was yellow, her 88 Firebird Formula 350 is yellow, heck I even bought a yellow 78 Toyota pickup new.......I love yellow!!!!!

    I had a yellow car once because I had to have it. A few things became apparent. You can't hide driving it. Bees and other insects loved it are just a few.

    Really not a fan of yellow for a car color but have done a couple at owners request. The 30 Plymouth seems right as it has an old Yellow Cab theme but the 39 Standard looks (to me) like it's been smeared with a used baby diaper.

  26. Yellow is actually a hard color to match, probably not on a dirt track car because it won't have much time to fade. LOL

    I wish I had a pick, the yellow on the '64 Chevelle was awful bright it was called Golden Rod. I had one that was more of a cream yellow even after I waxed hell out of it. I found out from the local dealer ship that it was an optional color that was actually a Buick color called Goldwood. The only one I ever saw that was not so bright that it hurt my eyes. :D
