Pretty in Pink (or is it purple) -- very cool!

I went to the Vernon car-show this weekend, in (where else) Vernon. Out of all the cars and trucks, one stood out among the crowd...of course it was a 67 Chevy. It was amazingly well done, outside, inside, upside, downside, even the wood in the bed was stained a purplish hue. Even though the colour by itself is rather girlie, when it is this well done, I would own it in a second!

Wow is that purple! Everything! I like it, not so sure about the color, but it is clean and very tastefully done.

Man, that is what i was wondering...it was boggling my mind last night. I could not find the owner of the truck to ask, so maybe we will never know!

I was also thinking, was there not a colour "Coral Ice Pink" or something similar that was a stock colour for 67-72? Was it similar enough to match the steering wheel? Even so, the steering wheel was exactly the same colour as the body on this one, so it would have to be pretty close.

'Bet he hopes if anything gets spilled in it, its grapejuice! I like the rare photo of the gas gauge. Mine is almost always pointed to the other side.
