Car is super solid and fully loaded with several power options, including power windows, power seats, power steering, power brakes, several ashtrays and map lights, auto headlight dimmer. This car came with the special Air conditioning system that ran thru clear tunes in the rear thru vents in the roof (similar to aircraft design). Under hood lies the factory 368ci V8 paired with 3 speed automatic transmission All chrome and trim are in great shape, does have 1 cracked glass The interior is in excellent condition and color matches the exterior There's no rust on the car, the body is very straight but the coral paint does show it's age.

Fossil Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Lots of good photos, but good lighting would have helped. The price seems to match up pretty nicely with the car. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) I agree with Fossil, fluorescent lighting is the worst to judge the true color of a car. Often times you will see a car that is Coral in the description that is really pink. Nice looking car IMO, sure looks like it has every option available for that year. Very cool that this car came equipped with air conditioning, more than likely it is non op. Still, the clear vents are neat.

In college 50 years ago in a painting class I took there were fluorescent lights - I would bring oil paintings in done in natural light and the colors under fluorescent light would totally change the view of the colors in the painting! SO the paintings were then viewed outside or in a hall that had natural light. Had a car paint supplier here on long island that would mix lacquer to the sample you had - NEVER did so unless there was natural light. I gave talks on that aspect of color and light to a number of people many times in the 40+ years I taught art at all levels. Neat car................. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a good portion of my career dealing with color, and you are completely correct about lighting. You can get florescent lights or LEDs that are spectrally the color of daylight, but most people find that color harsh as indoor lighting. In North America and Europe we prefer the color of indoor light that used to be produced by the open flame of candles and later gas. BUT...even if you get that part right, the camera rarely reproduces color with complete accuracy (that's why it's one of the things you adjust) and even more, we are looking at these pictures on a monitor or screen, and they vary even more! One more thing: our perception of color is greatly influenced by the colors of surrounding objects, which not only reflect colored light on what we are viewing, but cause our eyes to process the color differently than if they weren't present. So to sum up...you have to go see for yourself! 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
