I'm not an earth tone person or one for much chrome but I do like my autumn bronze only cause of the trim that sets it off. I shudder to think what a '71 brown car with matching brown bumpers would look like. I could photoshop it but some things are best left undone.

{edit} My 1st car the '71 charger was the exact same color as that police car... I just refered to it as army olive.

Actually, not all high impact colors were available with rubber bumpers....and they were available on some non high impact colors such as GY9 Tawny Gold!

Thanks for showing the Amber Sherwood. I like that color actually, and that look great on that RR in the pics.

Sorry I forgot to list the vote for Winchester Grey that was 5.6% too.
I like that color on a B-body by the way.

So far, it's turning out like I thought it might. In 1971 the High Impact colors accounted for 12.6% , so far the votes are going 51.1 % towards the High Impact colors.

I just found some pics of when i brought my car home

Link 1 and Link 2

When shes that shiny and beautiful who can not be an autumn bronze fan? Oh and in that 2nd link the white '70 challenger in the backround was quite pretty as well. 383 and auto plus white on white.. another of my fav combos.

Heres my two cents. Back in the day I loved curious yellow. Just something about that color that you cant take your eyes off of, or look directly at.

After painting by car B5 blue it has just grown on me. I think it is as sexy as all get out.

So I would vote true bluuuuue.
