Guest fmbjogger Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) 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.

D Yaros Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Looks like a variation of the proverbial "resale red," which is quite popular in the buyer's market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersix Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 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.

Bleach Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Femininity?!? If that's a concern then why do we call cars in female terms? If you like it, buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
