<VV> Re: corvair found-odd colors

[Frank DuVal]

Blue exterior with black interior is very common in the Corvair field. 
I've worked on MANY of them. I like the blue interior better...

The oddest color combination I have worked on was a 65 Monza 
Convertible, Danube Blue (dark blue) exterior, Red interior. I thought 
somebody MUST have repainted a red or white car to blue. But NO, the 
data plate was corecct codes for the blue exterior and the red interior!

BTW, you didn't buy that tripple yellow Eldo from a guy in Richmond, did 
you?
