Most Popular Car Color - but what's available?????
those studies of what colors people prefer don't mean anything anymore - because there aren't any choices anymore!!!! for those too young to remember: years back, even the cheapest cars gave you basic interior color choices: red, green, blue, tan/brown, black ...then you chose cloth or vinyl. on a convert, you could have a white, tan, black, lt blue or lt green top. the more expensive the car, the more choices.....car makers used to advertise the thousands of possible combinations. Packard even offerred "whitewalls" with a color stripe to match the body color. I think Chrysler was the first make to totally eliminate any interior choices: they came-up with the mousie gray cloth with flecks of green,red,yellow & blue for the Neon......only 1 interior available for any exterior color. The epitome was when the Lincoln LS came out: one interior (halfway between gray and tan) to go with about 20 exterior colors that were all gray (no blues, no reds, etc). and when the new TBird came out.......only a solid black interior (on a ugly $40,000 car) or you could pay thousands for some red bits thrown in. Gee, wonder why it didn't sell ?!?! New Town Cars let you chose a couple shades of gray. SO, the new Mustang: I'm going to order a convertible. It'll be Sonic Blue, white, or flame red. Top choices: black or tan (no white). Interior: all dark charcoal, tan (with BLACK trim) or gray. The red interior trim is nice but too much black and not available with many exterior colors. The original pics a year ago showed a blue interior accent package, but that apparently didn't make it. The only car made that I don't find boring, but they're doing their best: considering that it's going to sticker for around $34,000 and they won't be dealing.....think you could get some choices. |

I love it when I'm looking for my next beater and all I can find is freaking BLUE interiors... Of course it does make the car go cheap, cause no one else likes a used car with a blue interior, either. -- - Yes, I'm a crusty old geezer curmudgeon.. deal with it! - |

backyard: 'course, location and climate enter into it, too. Freezing up north, a red interior is nice. Ya don't want red where you've got a lot of sun - it fades. SIlver & white hide dust & dirt. Black shows every speck. guess I still haven't gotten over my '62 500XL convert: white on white with blue, tinted glass, 390. sigh sigh |
