It's  probably because the original enamel E O paint started visibility
fading  within five minutes of being exposed to the sun.  The newer
base/clear  coat paint formulations are supposed to live a little longer.  
As
I  remember the original paint, was E O on Monday and Grey by  Friday.

Original was magic-mirror lacquer, Dennis, as I recall. Only the  FCs had 
enamel. And I agree with your assessment of the problem. You buy an old  gray 
car and not realize what color it WAS until you open the trunk! The  street 
car in my driveway was once Evening Orchid - before that (originally)  
Yellow, now, kind of a metallic maroon.
