That does look like a sweet ride... Glen Green N Tan is an awesome combination!

I guess there is no need to ask you... but just for kicks... would you guys wear a Glen Green shirt, or do you prefer a Nassau Blue one?

I'm not surprised. During the late 70s Ford was selling Mustangs in lime green and Bullet green by the boatload. Remember all the green Firebirds and GTOs from the 68 to 69 period - was it Verdon Green or something like that?

Ya, except that most of those cars are now red or black, painted years ago when they were the hot colors, as is "resale red"! Add me to the green lovers society. It's a color you can live with and not get sick of....very classy!

From that smile, I'll guess it will be there every time you drive it. Looks like a nice car.

Never apologize for Glen Green. That color was also called Cypress Green on Chevy II's. I still have my Cypress Green '65 SS Chevy II I bought new. Just recently repainted it.....................Cypress Green. Impalas and Chevelles were painted the same color but I don't remember what they called it. There was a lot of green paint sold back then.
