Reply to comment by choschnebab in TIL in 1967 you could buy a Ford Mustang in 47 different colors by MoreTacoPie

All the computer iPad shit in cars now, and so many electric motors it would make a 1970s Cadillac blush, but YOU MUST CHOOSE between always-looks-dirty white or black, or some boring ass blue, gray, or red that looks like every other car.

It's not cost of paint, dealers say every other color sits on their lot forever. What are we, Amish?

What irritates me is browns and tans are perfect for trucks and SUVs but they've all vanished like woolly mammoths.

White actually is a very good colour for looking clean.

When I got my little white Toyota I was surprised at how every little puddle painted a Pollock on the side of it. Nature's canvas. Eventually I just ignored it and let it stay dirty, because it looked dirty again right after washing.

My gray vehicle doesn't show dirt unless it's actual mud instead of gray road grime, but of course it's as boring as a galvanized nail.
