I read long ago that green was the least favorite color for cars and sales proved it. Others said that it was the most hit color car. That could have came from green cars being unlucky.

I had a green Gremlin once that I really liked, but I found a fantastic deal on a new looking, low mileage (I think under 20,000 miles), ten year old 1978 Monte Carlo and traded it in. Maroon color with rally wheels.

I just remembered, my second car was a 1948 Oldsmobile. A really nice car.

If you want to SELL your car, then Red, White, or Black sell best... but if you want to keep, and love your car, then get a Green or Blue car...

As far as green go's that shade is as good as it gets. The Bullet Mustang was that color too,

meaning no offense to any vette owner but not my cup of tea in any color. I think they're way cool but just never had any desire to own one.

I don't have room in my garage for that Vette but I would make room. Sell something or build on.

I'm one who does like the color green. I've owned or still own green vehicles and have a few I've built for others in Green that are truly beautiful cars in Green. Also a few that are IFFY in green.
