I like the color too, Marlin. Although, when I bought it, I didn't even know it was under there. It was a 4 speed and it was fast. That's all I cared much about back then.

Isn't that the truth!I think Elco's are cool...

What part of Ca. are you from? Your name sounds really familiar. I lived in SoCal (the last time around) for 29 years...1973-2002. I lived in Orange County...

I grew up in El Monte of all places, Bruce. I currently live in the San Fernando Valley. Maybe we met on the street a few times - between signals!

....the original yellow beige paint....

Code 50 - Gobi Beige, beautiful color

[/ QUOTE ]

Gobi Beige had it's own code? I thought they just mixed all the leftover paint at the end of the day, and sprayed it on the last couple of cars.
