    Take a look at early Ford colors in the 30's as well as VW and Mercedes in the 50's
     
  5. This was painted in the late 70's with Imron with Rootbeer fenders and the paint has not lost it's luster after all these years!

    Brown's great. I once posted something about brown cars on a different forum expecting to get a bunch of comments about rolling turds and so on, but most people shared my opinion. It's a warm, rich, masculine, elegant color.

    And don't forget about the Trendero. It was a nice coppery brown.

    Back in the 80s my buddy owned a 70s deuce coupe he bought out of Minnesoata, which was painted with House of Color root beer over a 50/50 silver/gold base coat. Was a striking color in the sun and I remember going to Columbus with him in it and people would ask what color the car was painted.

    Thanks for all the good leads. I wasn't sure if Brown could be taken seriously or not. Now I'm loving it. Thanks again.

  24. Magazines from the '70s are full of them. I was saying how much liked the brown resto rods from that era. Very elegant.
