Too feminine a color ?

[Guest fmbjogger]

I have an opportunity to purchase a super low miles, superbly mantained 1975 Coupe DeVille with a repainted Cerise Firemist body with a snow-white cabriolet top ( see pic of similar Cadillac). It seems ridiculous to ask but what do you think of it and would you be caught dead driving it ? I generally collect the more garish 70's colors but even I'm hesitating because I think it might have a very limited resale market.

Looks like a variation of the proverbial "resale red," which is quite popular in the buyer's market?

i would drive it with no thought about the color, i used to own a 1957 olds golden rocket 88 two door holiday with it's original color of desert glow, a real soft pink color. charles coker, 1953 pontiac tech advisor.

If I liked it, I wouldn't worry about it. It's a lot better than today's new car mud/puke colors. I always thought the best era for colors was the mid-fifties, and the so called "easter egg colors". I never could understand today's culture whereas pastel colors were somehow "not masculine", but if it's on a Harley, it's ok! I guess time has passed me by.

Femininity?!? If that's a concern then why do we call cars in female terms? If you like it, buy it.
