Some greens really date a car, like all the blue-ish greens from the 90's. Even the M3 from that period fell victim. Sometimes it's good, like the electric greens of the 70's, or of course the classic non-metallic greens like BRG.

Van and Car. Both 97's, the year of green.
The Green on the Audi was beautiful. I wish I hadn't sold it (then I think about all the maintenance needed on a 200k Audi!)

My 99 Miata is what they call Emerald Mica, I call it WannaBe British Racing Green. In high school back in the mid-70's I had a 65 Chevelle (I6/AT) that was turquise. The 1st wife and I had a 63 Rambler in the late 70's that was turquise also. Haven't had one since till the Miata. When buying used cars, color isn't really something that important.

It's funny. I've owned a bunch of LBCs but this is the closest thing to a green car I've had

Never had a green vehicle. Had one blue car and one brown truck. All the rest including the motorcycles have been red.

Why does yours look cooler than mine? Its the same color but different wheels, lowered.....oh, now I see why. Those clear turn signals look suprisingly good. Where did you get them?

There is a family around the corner from me has a fleet of green cars. I kid you not. Chevy C10 (1970, I'm just waiting for that one to go for sale), Toyota Tercel, Mercedes, and a Ford Explorer.

Wow, Rob! I'm not the biggest Mopar fan in the world, but that one looks so clean I wonder why it's on the trailer!!

TC, if it's any consolation..my best ex-girlfriend had an SC1 coupe when I met her (back when they were new), and the car in your image finally answers my age-old questions about where Saturn would have ended up if they'd been able to "stay the course", instead of ending up in the bottomless pit of GM's worldwide "badge engineering". I still recall driving her SC1 and thinking, "..this is an American car? No way!!.."
