What colour is that? I call it Kumara Shitburst.

Certainly an interesting colour, mine's red most of the time, but sometimes I worry that it's pink and my next guitar will be one of those flower shaped daisyrocks <uurgh>

haha

I bet no-one ever bought a pink Thunderbird in 1956!!

I would not be so sure Ash - back in the early 70's we had a pink electrolux fridge from, at the latest, 1961. Me dear ol Ma in law bought it for us and the paint appears to have been an original factory finish.

Heck I used to sell the things and I've never seen another, although puke green was pretty common.

Presumably someone Little Richard could have affored a pink thunderbird and he was as gay as!

Fair enough!
Perhaps they all drove from Fiesta to Carnivale to Mardi Gras in their pink Thunderbirds

F&P still make puke green fridges espescially for the Fiji, Indonesia and Malaysia markets according to the tour guide at the factory!!

How much you think a fridge that colour would cost me?
