OK, I am sure Mr. Comer is thinking I am picking on him, but I am not...
Just asking questions.
the vehicle was given an orange paint finish that would not otherwise be seen until the 1971 introduction of Ford’s Baja Bronco
So you are saying that this was a new color, but it was not. It was called Poppy Red
in 1966 and 1967, Calypso Coral in 1969 and 1971-1972, and Coral from 1974-1977.
Very odd that they ordered it white then painted it a stock color... Or did they?
All of the older pics I have seen it looks actual red to me, not orange (poppy, etc).
Thoughts?
