Purple Cars????? any of them out there??

My color is "Raped Grape"---Metallic 1992 Ford color.

 

I always liked this one from Japan. I'll raise a toast, of "Crown Royal", to a "royally beautiful, purple" hot rod any day.

 

here`s mine

 

its a 59 Elcamino, unfortunateley the pics i have are on a hard disk i cant access from here. real sweet car too.

 

Thanks to your info Adam & bonez I was able to track it down through google images.

front aint as pretty



one more to add

 

yeah thats the one. i like the front too thou.
where and when hat pic taken?

 

Best purple car ever, really- Bill Wigzell's legendary L88 'Suddenly', with ace flagman Glen Dix side- saddle.

Anyone got some pics of a white car with purple panels?

 

Gary Meyers and Elden Titus did a good job on her. One of my all time favorite Caminos.
You can find more pictures of the El Camino on the www.carnut.com web site. Here is
a picture taken at the SK500 a few years ago....



Happy Trails, Mick

 

No idea, just grabbed it off google images.

And a rough photoshop I did for shainermans edsel.

 

Custom mix I did in 86 still like it but its been done over.
will bring this back again

 

This is going on my uncles OT Fastback.

In the shade(kind of..)


In the sun.

 

Here is a couple that I had. Still have the HD

 

here's one of my clients' '35 roadster that I striped a few weeks ago . "El Morado" , the purple one !

 

... Like Father, Like Son:

 

This just showed up at Coolangata in OZ.

 

i agree, what a sweet car. I didnt know it was Titus work, and i dont know who gary meyers is.
Is it me or it had a diffrent front end treatment say 10 years ago?
It would be perfect w/ chrome reverse wheels and double pin whites, the americans and www are not my cuppa tea. still, i love this car.



Is this Craig's "Liberace" rodster? ive seen this pic a thousand times but never a full feat. Seems like a top notch car and i would expect it to be in many features. But maybe i just missed all the time for ?? reason. BTW, i'd love to see more of it .

 

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Larry Watsons Grapevine, way before purple became popular.

 

This is the mid 70's version of Jerry Bergs '34 Northern Star that is my avatar now

 

My comments are a bit into the cat tails as far as "purple" cars go, but I'll offer my two cents.
Years ago, when I built my 54 Merc ragtop, I decided to change the color from white to .... something.
After weeks of deliberation, I selected a color offered by "R&M", which was a rich "darker lilac". I don't recall the color name, but it may have been a Lincoln or big GM color. Of course, the stock red and black interior had to go - replaced by a white and black scheme. The car had a new white convertible top, so I was good to go. The cars got a ton of compliments, and sold to the first guy who knew it was for sale.
To prove "karma" can be sympathetic to guys who like "different" paint colors, I then bought a 57 Merc Turnpike Cruiser in breathtaking stock "Sunset Orchid", and for the past 30 years have owned a pink and white 58 Edsel Citation.
Go ahead, paint your car purple, join the club, and be proud of it. Did I mention that if it's a Merc, I'll probably own it sooner or later.

 

We got one too.

 

Nice Custom...great lines , spinners...you nailed it.....thinking of painting my avatar Plum Crazy...

I used to have the only purple Buick station wagon here in Sevier County. T.N. Sold it to a fellow H.A.M.B.E.R. Bruce.
