Juju,

IMHO, I think that brown is a little to gray... it doesn't "pop" like it should. Maybe if it was a little more yellow.

That '58 with the Americans on it is Diamond Green. I like it, but its been played out lately. It looks best with chrome.

Also we need to remember that we're pretty international here. Just because it's played out in one area doesn't mean it's played out some where else. Colors always seem to go in cycles.
