A totally different animal.
Gold "trim" is so overused to "luxury-up" cars these days... Ohhh my beige Camry has the gold package.... bleck..
Close...but no cigar. I was referring to the the Desoto Aventurer, and the Plymouth Fury.
I wasn't talking about the gold bling "crap" you see on Toyotas and Hondas, I was talking about a true Black and Gold "theme" cars. Mopars not withstanding.
Remember the Hertz Shelby Mustang, the Cosworth Vega, Black and Gold 70's Trans Ams, Hurst Olds, Hurst Grand Prix's etc?
I think with all the talent, and imagination on this forum, somebody could come up with a tastefully done "Black & Gold" theme car that wouldn't come off looking like some "Pimp Daddy's" wet dream.
Anyway, back to the OP's original question. Copper, or "Turbine Bronze" on the Crossfires trim would be a refreshing change to the oh so common, "Men in Black, FBI Stake out, Dipped in Tar" look.
