Cool Re: s s b ?

Oyster Gold seems to get the same mileage, have the same horsepower, and attracts the same level of bugs as all the other colors aside from ssb - it does however also attract the most ladies and comments regarding how AWESOME it looks...

Yup I can vouch for that.
This pic was taken after a 10 hour drive to the Dragon.
Chicago to Fontana Dam,NC (400 miles of it) in the rain and here is how she looks....

Valkryderguy,

Your ride looks great. Nice picture!



Tony Curtiss;
SSB is the insignia for the special cars.

SSB is the color all the really "COOL" Crossfires are painted.

Everything else is just a Crossfire.

I thought I had it bad. All my Benz's are Silver Blue but at least the other two are sedans.

Worst case I ever saw. And there is no cure!
