Why do people think that yellow is an attractive color on a car? It reminds of of American Graffiti, "Hey, you know a guy around here with a pi$$ yellow deuce coupe, supposed to be hot stuff?"

My sentiments exactly.....

You yongins might not know. But, back in the 50s paint was available in black and yellow as pre-mix. The yellow was kept in bulk for school buses. It was cheaper than custom mix paint. So, it was an economic advantage to drive a yellow hot rod.

You remember who won the race though, eh?

Yellow done right (for my taste, lighter shades) can be a very classy color, especially on big cars IMO. Just ask all the folks on this site who own one. Or are you fishing for flamers?
