Say it isn't so! Weird original colours are fine, even a novelty, a
conversation piece, a standout."Gee those cars were interesting, and those
*colours* they used back then..." But weird colours from another time
are another matter. There's nothing worse than walking into that charming
1930s house only to find the dreaded 1970s kitchen. The nagging comment
is "Why did they do *that*?!" just imagine what "teal" will look like
in ten years...
Of course, you may paint your car any colour you like, and the trendier the
colour, the more likely you are to have interest from passers by of a later
era. Then again, you can always repaint it later.
Fun with funny paint,
