Hi

Red was for firetrucks, would be consider gaudy and gauche by polite society then. Any red listed for body panels was usually a very dark, oxblood or garnet hue. Vermillion was specified as pinstripe for accent, which being just that, wasn't considered too showy or inappropriate.

But, leave it to the self-centered, overt ethic abroad now, to finish a car like a circus wagon.
