I think on F cars red is amazing, but THE iconic Pantera color was, is and
always will be Yellow.  From factory photos, show cars, print ads,
brochures, movie inclusions, etc, feature 90% yellow cars.  The lines flow,
the light washes, the shadows play, it contrasts with the tail lights (
where red blends in) and makes the interior pop.  But I'd certainly like a
second one in petty blue and a third in red, just like the three Hot Wheels
1/18 die cast models.  Michael Shortt
