In 1921, Gaston Chevrolet [brother of Louis Chevrolet -- pioneer auto manufacturer] was killed in Beverly Hills. His car, Number 4 was *Green.*

I hear you about the Mustard Yellow. GM calls that hue, ''Ochre.'' I've had recurring nightmares, where, in my sleep I buy an Ochre '69 or '70, 3/4 ton longbed fleetside. When I pick up the truck, the whole bed is filled with fresh HorseSh!t! Which I didn't see in the ad because it was the same color as the bed.
