Bob Fritz is retired from Chrysler Styling. He helped introduce the wild car colors of the 70's. Fritz and the others in Chrysler Styling came up with a rainbow of wild colors. Colin Neale was in charge of color then, according to Fritz. Elwood Engel was VP of Styling. John Herlitz and Tom Gale were studio managers. "They backed it," Fritz said. It was a really interesting article. Do you remember these colors? Starting in the 1970's: Plum Crazy (metallic) GoManGo Vitamin C Hemi Orange TorRed Lemon Twist Banana Bright Green (metallic) InViolet SassyGrass Green Bahama Yellow Butterscotch Curious Yellow Citron Yella Moulin Rouge Panther Pink (which he called Penta Magenta)

What was the call name for that one? I understand that there is an exhibit of auto artwork from the 70's somewhere in Detroit thru March. Might be worth a look.
