To be fair, the SL struck the Eldo kind of unfairly, bumper heights weren't equal. Shows the usefulness of ghastly US style bumpers though :shades:
When I was tooling down the highway at 65 or 70 I got blitzed by a Porsche 928S passing me at 80 or more. I thought of those a German Corvettes.

Coincidence for sure, as I saw a first gen Aurora painted in a hideous Coral/Pink color.
I wanted to snap a picture, but couldn't get in a good position.

Also saw a burgundy '66 Nova 2-door HT, might have been rodded a bit.

Here is James May's take on the TR6
almost looks like factory.

"Richard A. Teague, chief designer of AMC's Javelin, recently commented that, "I remember my first visit to American Motors, I arrived with an English designer, both of us considering whether we wanted to work there. The first thing they showed us was the clay model for the forthcoming 1961 Rambler American. 'My God, Dick,' said my English colleague 'it looks like a ruddy ordnance vehicle.' " - especially in that color.

James May and the TR6--The Blokiest Bloke's Car EVER
He's quite right--I owned a TR250 (a TR6 with a TR4 body) --it was a total "man's car"---hard, tight steering, heavy gearshift, zero ergonomics, a ride like a dog cart---and, oh, what great fun.
RAMBLER -- I remember when the new American came out--I was in high school working summers at a Rambler dealership. We all marveled at how incredibly cheap the car was. The instruments were labeled with DECALS. The mats were rubber (no carpeting) and the front hood slammed with the authority of an Italian TV dinner tray. Underneath, a gutless flathead 6 engine that vaguely resembled a woodstove. I remember my first drive---the transmission whined like an old truck.
I actually liked the style on these for a couple of years around then.

Just remembered, a black 90's(?) Lotus.
I guess it was Old English day.
Last night I saw a later model Century wagon - it had an airbag, so I am guessing maybe 1993 onward. It looked absolutely new. I got up close to it, didn't find a scratch. It had those chrome hubcaps that did a reasonable impression of looking like wheels. I also saw a Ciera wagon this morning, has to be the same one I see now and then, a woody.
Saw an early style 280Z this morning, followed by a W126 - flash back 25 years. Also a red SSR with the top down - another GM answer to a question nobody asked.
EDIT - nevermind, I just pulled one up, round headlights in the square frame.
Although I want to like them, I can't really warm up to the odd proportions of the new "retro" Camaro and Challenger models in any color. But when I see an old school example still out on the street it still looks right to me.
I cannot find any other GM division using this color. Interesting.
