As you may know by now, I love seeing how brands and designers display colour swatches. Nowadays, the auto industry uses glossy photographs or website customizers to show the dazzling paint jobs available on new models. They are an effective modern way of advertising colour but I am in love with this strip swatch style used for Plymouth Barracudas in the 1960′s and 1970′s. It certainly must have made car buying a more creative experience! I’m thinking the display model could be parked all over a city as its own eye-catching advertisement? I wish car companies still created stripe models like this. I would be first in line to buy the sample swatch car…
