In many cases, the color of the car you're driving says that the color you WANTED in the first place wasn't AVAILABLE.

If the auto companies would stop wasting so much money on color and psychological " research " and instead take that money and put it into more different colors and paint guns at the factory to start with, they would be a lot better off....and so would many of their customers.

that's all crap. they just threw out vague qualities that could describe anyone. just like when these "physics that talk to the dead" throw out all that vague info so someone can think it applies to them.

I bought a dark green GS430 that looks black 90% of the time because it had low miles and great price. I was looking for a silver, black or white GS before I found this car. so where do I fall into that?

The Model-T wasn't black because it was Mr. Ford's "favourite" color. Black was the only paint at the time that would dry fast enough to keep up with production.

It was also the easiest color to hide the primer and metal underneath it with a minimum of paint thickness......an important consideration in Henry's cost-control efforts to get the automobile, at that time, cheap enough for the masses to buy. In that regard, he did more than any other single person inthe history of the automobile to make it available as a household object. The VW Beetle came along 20-30 years later in **** Germany, ( basically Hitler's idea of a small, cheap car for the German masses ) but by then Ford had already laid the groundwork for mass production techniques, and Hitler ended up diverting much of VW production to the military for re-arming the country.

However, Henry Ford, despite cost-control on the Model T, was no cheapskate when it came to his employees. He strictly forbade Union organization, but made up for it paying his factory workers more than what was customary at the time in just about any other blue-collar industry. There were always long lines of job applicants at Ford plants for advertised openings there....even in the prosperous 20's before the big Depression of the 30's hit. People loved Henry and wanted to work for him.

Silver-blue is becoming more popular now...and I agree it's a nice color ( far nicer, IMO, than pure silver ).

Heck, just look at the top of the page........on the 3 cars used in the new CL Logo.
All three of them are silver-blue.
