One thing I've really noticed at car shows is the number of classic and custom cars that are showing up in shades of purple. In the case of my Project Fireball, painting the car purple was a matter of historical accuracy and not really a cosmetic choice. But not every car owner/builder out there is restricted in their car color choice as I was. So, I thought I would share these other cars with you and devote a CarDomain page to...
"The Color Purple"
All photos except for the original Fireball Roberts car and Purple Pacer are by me.
Sure, there were other race cars that relied on shades of purple, from Fireball Roberts' '63 Galaxie and Lake Speed's '88 Olds to the Smokin' Joe's T-Bird and the Diamond Rio-sponsored Ford. But again, those were race cars with sponsor-determined colors.
With some cars, the purple is a complimenting color...
... while for others, it is THE color.
My buddy Bruce certainly made Plum Crazy a standout color on his outstanding '68 Cuda!
And then there's Purple Pacer Girl here on CarDomain with her own take on the color:
