    Ok, I must have had too many Henry Weinhard Root Beers today or maybe it was a picture I seen of a two-tone Bugatti that looked like it was root beer brown, anyways.....
    I am looking for any pics of cars or trucks that were root beer brown, especially anything two-tone.
    So whatch'a got?

    that's the photo. notice also the tires and ground are purple.
     
  6. Not trying to be rude, but what's the point of posting a pic of a car that "looks" purple when he wants to see cars that "look" Root Beer brown? I don't get it...
     
  7. That's how much of 1969 looked to me.:)

    That was the name back then.

    For 2007, the Nissan Quest has a really nice root beer brown metallic color. I know, minivan, but it's a cool color.

    For what it's worth, Pinkee's LOADED roadsterPU is always touted as some root beer color, but it's actually the color of the bottle itself which is more red.
    Just my opinion, but Doyle Gammel's car is a pretty good example of the ideal......mmmmmm

    Pinkee's attached. I forgot about that one. It is one of my favorites.
    The Nissan van must what they call "Red Brown".
    There are some sweet rides ine here.

    The Deuce posted by Gotgasis the definition of Bitchin'. Love it

    The Deuce posted by Rolleiflex is very sweet.

    LOSTN51 that is very close to what I am looking for, would you mind emailing me some photos.

    I like the browns with a little red in them.
