Just copy and paste the IMG code at the bottom of each picture. I like brown almost as much as yellow.

here is my 74, I am still undecided on leaving it the original color or do the change and paint it Yellow or Orange
I've been around Brown most of my life, it may be time to change

I'd stick with the original brown; it's one of the few distinctive colors of the rubber-bumper cars, and I think it goes very well with that body-style. It's one of the few colors that would make me buy a car of that era.

One of the most under rated colors, I love mine, and when I decide to repaint, I will paint it exactly the same color again, its such a cool color, sometimes it looks black sometimes brown, sometimes almost copper, Go the brownies.
