2005 pace car colors
I just noticed this Ebay auction for a photo of the '04 Indy pace car, but the car appears to be solid white with pace car markings. All of the other '04 pace cars I've seen are white over blue. Anyone know the story on this?

Never seen an all white 2004 pace car before
I have only seen the white over blue just as you said.

I believe the official pace cars were white over blue, but they also had a fleet of all-white parade/festival cars, like the one pictured in the auction. These cars were later sold to the public. They do commemorate the event, but they aren't "pace cars".

Think that is close to what I read somewhere also.

I like the looks of those cars. Graphics package is well done.
