The stock color options on the Pierce-Arrow Series 80 were legion!

Likely more so if you wanted the BIG Pierce-Arrow.

And as pointed out above, if you wished to order a Pierce-Arrow motorcar, you could select from myriad color and the interior material options.

That process was said to drive the PAMCC Salesmen looney.

I also understand that the current Rolls-Royce motorcar is available in any of 44,000 different “stock” colors, and of course any color that you wish that is not on the chart of the 44,000 stock colors.

EESCH, Pity the Rich!

They have such difficult decisions to make.

Check this out Tom. We don’t really know what Sport Blue Light and Marne Blue actually looks like; however, this ‘29 convertible sedan may be close.

Available for viewing at the Browning/Kimball Auto Collection; ask for Amanda.

The only way to assess the attractiveness of a colour scheme is in person by viewing the car outside in daylight. Judging a car’s appearance from a photograph or under artificial lighting can be very misleading. Rick

Rick is 100 percent correct.

Some of you who have seen our 1247 Limo at P-A meets over the years may appreciate the truth of seeing a color outside in daylight. 95% of the time and in every picture ever taken it appears black, but on sunny days it is a very deep purple in the sunshine. The modern computer color matching systems could not duplicate it for doing touch ups, but an old timer was able to do a suitable match with ‘artistry’.
