Re: Green Wheels, Really???
 

I played around with green wheels for a couple years, just because the green wheels came with a set of tires I bought, but went back to the beige color when I got my 19" radials. I like them much better now.

Re: Green Wheels, Really???
 

I agree Carl...the straw looks much better.

Re: Green Wheels, Really???
 

The green wheel color that the Ford Motor Company used in the early '30's, was originally named for it's color - "Baby Shit Green".

However, the name "Baby Shit Green" was seen by some to be 'off putting', so the boys over at the Marketing and Sales Division quickly over-ruled the original name and renamed it to something that would be more appealing. Hence the name we now all now it by: "Apple Green" - so much more 'user friendly'.
But I think the image of the initial description still fits the color.

Luckily both my taste and my opinions (as my wife is fond of saying) "Ain't worth shit ! " So by all means - if you like it - wear it proudly !

Anybody knows that has raised a baby and changed it's nappies, the substance left is not baby shit green, but more as baby shit brown. Anyone that has been late in changing a nappy, cleaning it off the walls next to the crib does not match Apple Green wallpaper either!!! Personal experience....and no bullshit!!!

Re: Green Wheels, Really???
 

Carl,

Judging by rear rims in the second picture, you made the change from green to beige gradually. One wheel at a time or two?

Jason in TX, that is one sweet A. I love the planes behind it also, very cool.( been to Wright- Patterson museum many times )

I might just paint up two and see how she looks. Straw was an original color on the P/U and is choice number 2. Before I powder coat the wheels, I'll use a spray can.

The whites will stay until after my wife's 69 resto-mod Camaro is done.
The Maroon (brown to me) stays until after I'm gone.

Thanks all, some very nice cars out there. I still love the green what ever it's called. Cheers:):):)

Re: Green Wheels, Really???
 

Actually, I just kept switching things around -- using tires that still had tread on them until I was able to get my new radials along with newly powder coated wheels. Sold the green ones when I got everything put together. Still have the black ones.
