Are you drawn to same color car ??

Discussion in 'The Antiquated' started by 1morecarIpromise!, Jan 22, 2020.

  1. I saw on net a singer with his 4 or 5 car stable ALL THE SAME COLOR ! In this case they were each chrome yellow.
    Reminded me of a fellow in Red Deer Alberta I bought two 1956 Chevs from. He was trying to collect one of each model 1956 Chevs that were two-tone Crocus Yellow and Laurel Green.
    I also recall a couple with 2 identical 1965 GTOs in a butternut yellow.

    SO WHAT COLOR TURNS YOUR CRANK? And would you want more than one vehicle in same color?

    I like bright yellow, like Corvette yellow, and yes, I had a couple of cars the same color yellow at the same time. I also like black and some shades of blue.

  4. Different cars bring off different colors. Color choice is a very important decision and should be made with serious consideration. If you are going for a period look car you need a "period" color choice. On a more personal level, I used to be a Blue guy, but in recent years I've been gravitating more towards some of the fabulous Greens. Weird, I know.:)

    At car shows, I always go to the orange ones, regardless of type or year model, although I've yet to own an orange vehicle.

  9. I'm drawn to black and white. On a bad day, the black and whites are drawn to me.

  10. Dang funny ! Great sense of humor.
    Black n white instantly brought to my mind an iconic black 57 Chev 150 with white insert on quarter panels.

    Black is the darkest color, the result of the absence or complete absorption of visible light. It is an achromatic color, a color without hue, like white and gray. It is often used symbolically or figuratively to represent darkness, while white represents light.

  13. NICE stable you have there. When you said "RUST" is your favorite color it reminded me how attracted to primer my son is.

  14. I did not plan it, but BOTH of my 1931 Dodge Brothers coupes were ordered with identical choices. Both were ordered as "Marquette Blue" with "Black" reveal , "Ivory" pin striping and wire wheels. Since it was during the Great Depression, the company used whatever was available, so they BOTH came with wood spokes! One is now back to the "as ordered" configuration (except for the pin striping). The other will remain with wood spokes. 1467489_10201964512253365_1450239591_n.jpg 576b0518de4c3_stuff222.jpg.323a58be7655e4354ff2e57b23d43b52.jpg
     
  15. Looks awesome! Quite the coincidence that they are same colors. How many choices did original buyers have for Dodge coupe in 1931?

  16. I find myself in agreement with LothianDon1940. The car has a lot to do with the color choice.
    I own a 1959 Cadillac limousine that previous owner painted a medium blue and I hope to return to traditional black. On the other hand I own a factory pink (wood rose) 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville and when I had a chance bought a similar pink Imperial.
    More HAMB friendly I have a 1934 Ford five window fenderless hemi powered coupe I envision chopped n baby blue with white tuck n roll interior.

  18. Thanks 31Dodger.
    With 10 different colors and 13 factory color combinations available it is even more amazing both your 31 Dodge coupes came from factory same color combination.
    BTW how appealing is the color "gopher"? Lol

  20. I like dark colors and while building a car I go through the "what color" phase and when I finally decide on a color I go to the paint store and somehow come home with BLUE, not the intended color, so now when someone ask "what color you gonna paint it?" I say " what ever color I walk out of the paint store with." BigO
     
  21. BigO, that honesty is hilarious !

  23. I think Bill Gruendeman has exactly what I was thinking of with the question "are you drawn to the same color car?"
    Bill, any chance of a picture of all those black cars together ( or separate)?

    Mid nite blue, the color of my second car, you know the ones we can’t talk about, with 289 cubes and 271 horsepower! That’s kinda why I bought this 1965 model car! 7F52CCAE-082E-4CD6-B5E7-111CB10BC6B6.jpeg

  25. Strangely, whenever I attend a show I am attracted to the unpainted (or work in progress) ones.
    I dunno, lots more to dream about I guess...
