I have always loved this car. The #5 is my number, I have always favored five windows over three, and as I have gotten older I have come to terms with the fact that race cars get under my skin deeper than hot rods ever did. Add the Hawaiian connection on top of that and I never really stood a chance. What I did not know, somehow, was that the damn thing was yellow. In my head it was white. Always white. Locked in there like a bad memory you refuse to reexamine. I am not sure how I feel about the yellow, but I am also sure that it does not matter. The car already made its case a long time ago.
Also a fan of that yellow. There’s a real slick 5 window in a similar yellow I’ve seen lately that I absolutely love. yellow seems to be one of those colors that it’s either right or it’s wrong and the wrong gets picked a lot of the time.
Love the car - even the long nose. The color: have to be careful with some shades of yellow have a green tint. And parked on gr*** “pick up” green reflection. Believe yellow also attracts love of many bugs
