It goes back to 1911 when Lee Oldfield [Barney's brother] blew a tire at Syracuse and piled into the stands killing 9 fans -- in a *Green Car*.
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.

Yeah, well, it's just a nightmare. Then I wake up and realize I have a beautiful 516 Orange '68 Stepside and a cool blue '71 Jimmy.

So as not to derail this thread -- $60K is pretty steep for a truck that retailed for almost $4K new; but it sure is clean. Cheaper than a fresh-tuned array of Flux Capacitors. I'd be sadder if it was a manual shift. Probably the Colonel's Wife's vehicle.
