<VV> strange Corvair Decade question

[tkalp at cox.net]

Ray, before the wide use of computers in the printing industry, "full color" printing was extremely expensive. To brighten the page and not cost an arm and a leg photos were printed as "duo-tones" that is black and one other color.  The photos you refer to are duo-tones and weren't unusual for the time period.
