Automotive Trivia question time!!!!

[Iron Woode]

Name atleast 6 Mopar High Impact Colours, without repeating any of them.

Hint: Mopar usually named a colour twice: one for Plymouth and one for Dodge.

Lets see who knows what?

 

[Cadop]

What's a colour?

 

[imported_LoKe]

...You must be american.

 

[cjgallen]

Mopar? BLEH.

 

[geno]

Plum Crazy... crap I can't remember the name for the orange one

 

[geno]

[Eli]

What exactly do you mean by High Impact? How is that different from "regular"?

Back in 1969 Mopar debuted special colours to promote their cars. The colours stood out compared to regular colours and had pretty inventive names.

 

[cjgallen]

Plum Crazy Metallic/In Violet Metallic (nicknamed ?Statutory Grape?)

Found this from googling, thought it was funny

Yes, because americans have a bad habbit of dropping u's out of random words. You say it's for efficiency, I say it's because you're tired of embarassing yourselves at spelling-b's and other things of the like. But I'm not here to argue, I'm here to point out a horrible attempt at a joke.

Now I feel dumb, I thought you were making fun of his taste of cars, to which I was responding at Canada's lack of original vehicles... sorry! Itchy trigger finger I guess

 

[imported_LoKe]

Ah, I suppose it was my mistake. I didn't quote his post so you musth ave assumed I was speaking of the OP.

No problem.

Anyways, I can't answer Iron Woode's question, the only one that sticks out in my mind is Plum Crazy, I can't remember what the orange, lime green, and yellow were called (and the other 2 colors I don't even know of... )

 

[Iron Woode]

Some of you are so close.

Lime green = SubLime.

Plum Crazy = In Violet = purple.

Hemi Orange = Go Mango = orange

Top Banana Yellow

Tor Red = Moulon Rouge

Sassy Grass Green != SubLime

Panther pink

Colours that seem to be High Impact ones but aren't: Petty Blue & Bahama Yellow

According to this..

Sassy Grass Green == Green Go == Brite Yellow Green

Hemi Orange == Tor-Red

Banana == Lemon Twist

Moulin Rouge == Panther Pink

Opps, I am always confusing Panther Pink and Moulin Rouge as seperate colours.

I forgot about Lemon Twist.

The dual names come back to haunt me. :Q

This big folder is pretty neat. It has all the paint colors for domestic autos from 1970 to 1978, and 1974-5 imports.

Some cool colors in here. I've been keeping it around incase I ever want to paint one of my cars one of these colors or something, lol..

 

[Eli]

How about Ponchartrain Green? lol..

Don't think that's a high impact color though. 1970 Dodge trucks....

 

[Iron Woode]

I wish I had access to my friend's paint books. He does paint and body work for mopar restoration.

I am getting my mopar repainted soon. Its original colour is Regent Red Sunfire Metallic. A nice deep red with heavy metalflake.
