Muscle Cars, Colour, and the American V8

Colours have a storied history with cars. From the start with the Model T coming in any colour you want, as long as it was Japan Black, to the national racing colours that arose in the 50's, with British Racing Green, German Silver, Russo Italiano, etc. and onwards.

So when I tell you to think of, say, an old Dodge Challenger, what colour comes to mind? A sleek black? Purple? Maybe getting confused, thinking of a nice orange Charger instead? Black might be the universal constant when it comes to cars, but its no coincidence that Purple/Orange are the colours you might've associated with those cars. Back in the 60's and 70's, orange was the colour for the Charger, much like yellow was the Camaro, blue was the Mustang, and so on and so forth. And while I can't say all of these are necessarily the truth, it's just my own personal views anyway. When has anything I've said been entirely in the right?

There's pretty good reason for a lot of those colour associations, with the Charger being the most obvious, being the Duke Boy's General Lee. As unfortunate the name, and flag slapped on top of the car, are, it is still an incredibly famous paintjob and definitely had a long lasting influence on how people painted their cars, a legacy that still continues down south. The Challenger, however, was simply just a brilliantly beautiful color for the car, only really shared by the strange lime green color that was also prevalent at the time. Unfortunately, those colors have gone pretty far to the wayside, with the only one I've seen on a modern Charger being that disgusting neon green... which does not fit the absolute brick that is that car.

Over on the Chevy side of things, yellow is also a pretty obvious origin of popularity, being from Bumblebee. Y'know, the Transformer. Though, yellow isn't necessarily just exclusive to the Camaro. Corvette has been repping the colour for the racing side, with in modern days especially. Back in the day, though, silver was a pretty common colour of choice, if not a deep blue. Yellow has pretty obviously stuck with the Camaro nowadays, though it has added red to it's repertoire, as well as the Corvette keeping orange as the main colour of choice.

Speaking of deep blues, over on the classic Mustang side is this illustrious, deep blue and white styling that can't be matched. And if there's any place for it to originate, there is really only one source: Shelby. That blue is probably the most common colour to see on the old Cobra, and when they started working on the Mustang, white/blue became the standard for those, though originally white was the main colour. This has even persisted into the current day, with various different shades of blue. Even the insane Shelby 1000 was a nice deep blue.

On the less popular and discontinued side of things, however, white was a pretty widespread colour as well. AMC, Buick, Oldsmobile, it fit into everything. The black accents of the GSX, the red and blue parts of the Rebel Machine making the most hardcore American car possible, and Oldsmobile had the nice white Toronado, and the gold accents of the Hurst/442 worked quite well as well.

Rather interestingly as well, Plymouth had a very similar color scheme to Dodge, with the Cuda being in orange and purple in the same way, though the two colors shared one singular car, with the former keeping the above shown black accent at the back, and the purple turning them a nice white to match. The car came in a massive amount of colours, much like many other cars of the time, but these two were the ones I've personally seen the most.

Speaking of orange, Mercury used the colour a lot as well, with the Cougar and Cyclone sporting it often... really, orange was a very popular colour back in the day. It's a shame its fallen so out of style, as many colours have. Everything now is either greyscale, red or blue, with very few daring to expand into other, more exotic choices, even if they don't necessarily look good.

And, well, rounding out with a car that dared to look different, before becoming quintessentially greyscale, the Firebird Trans-Am. Sure, the most notable part of it is the namesake Firebird emblazoned upon the bonnet of the car, but it hardly came in anything aside from black or white once you get past the mid-70s, and it even lost the bird bonnet once you get into the 80's, part in due to the fame it regained from becoming KITT in Night Rider. Red did eventually come back in style for it in the twilight years of the car's existence, but by then it was little more than a badge swap.

All of this doesn't necessarily apply to just muscle cars, as I said in the beginning, though. You've got stuff like the chameleon paint jobs of the later TVR models, Midnight Purple on the Skylines, Lamborghini and Ferrari sporting yellow and red respectively, even Rolls-Royce Silver being a named colour of many a car. Colour has a massive place in car culture, as obvious a statement that is, to the point where it can drive up a price just from the right paintjob, because seriously, who is going to buy a puke green Hellcat? Really, I could've done a broader scope for this post, covered entire brands and their famous colors, but I feel that muscle cars are a good enough scope for that, especially on the American side. Blue is the colour for Ford nowadays, after all.

All of this is to say "I don't know how to end this post."

NIGHT TRAIN – Donnie Phillips/Chris Kenney

For whatever reason, back in the day, Oldsmobile adopted the term “Rocket” and used it to identify many of their V8 engines from 1949 to 1990 along with a model; the Rocket 88, which was instrumental in creating the performance and race car movement we know today. Olds made some cool cars, but none were as popular among enthusiasts as the Cutlass. Option package models were born of the Cutlass and included the Supreme, the Hurst Olds and the 442.   Want to share this with a friend...share this link Read the full article

Following the success of Hurst components in Oldsmobile's 442 models, Oldsmobile, in collaboration with Hurst Performance of Warminster, Pennsylvania, produced special-edition performance versions of the 442 or Cutlass Supreme, the Hurst/Olds.

Should I buy the 1968 Oldsmobile 442 HURST OLDS?

Should I buy the 1968 Oldsmobile 442 HURST OLDS?

Overall these cars were a huge success when built along with the partnership of Hurst. The company only decided to make these cars in a low volume amount. Today maybe only a few hundred exist or even less. If you are lucky to come across this car you would have definitely acquired the rarest of the rare in terms of cars.
