I noticed the same problem with all cars in recent years--so few colors
from which to choose. When I was a teenager in the fifties, it seemed
there were hundreds of colors, and you could order special paint jobs
direct from the factory. I miss the fifties palette.

I notice that sixty colors were offered.   Vastly better than today's 
pathetic color selection. Black, silver, a gray or two. Two reds. Bah!
