It's uncommon to me so I think this particular repaint is off a microtint
or two. Is your 240D nautical blue?

I am becoming disturbingly attracted to mid 60s Thunderbirds. This one has
PW and a swing out steering wheel, and may sell for a STUPID low price.
Just to cruise around in such a car w/o fixing a thing - very tempting and
wildly impractical.

Not a bad deal, $4.50 / qt for 0w-40.
