***ian Red is a color named for Tiziano Vecellio, c1477–1576, Italian painter. The color is a reddish-gold, like the hair color used in many of the works of ***ian. And it's pronounced "tish-uhn". None of which I had ever heard. So, the fifties Buick people had some strong art influences when they named that color - ***ian Red.[/QUOTE] Thanks for this.. I have always wondered the origin and proper spelling of this color. Mystery solved. Matt. @Kid Rocker coupe is amazing, loved the video!
*UPDATE* My good friend Johnny Jean Jacket located Wayne's son, Doug. I spoke with him on the phone and he had some great stories about the car...and will dig out some of the photos of his dad with the coupe! Here is one of them!! Toledo, Ohio 1957
