One thing occurs to me from looking at those ads.... it answers the question of what kind of color combinations were available when the cars were new.

However, I'm not so sure that I'd agree with that - at least, not without some sort of "factory" reference as to what colors were actually offered in production by the vehicle manufacturer.

Taking 41ParPack's points a step further, I suspect a bit of artistic license was employed in selecting colors from the palette of printer's ink - with an eye toward drawing maximum attention to the ad.
