What’s your thoughts on Bronze cars?

[pmustang]

I have two gold fastbacks in my stock for sale. Both excellent cars at their price points. Can't sell them for love nor money

Only colour worse is yellow for resale

Everyone says the same..."thought I would hate it but better in person" then they buy another colour car

Here is a photo I took of an original bronze car that was being disassembled for restoration.  It had been repainted at some point but not fully taken apart, the color hidden under the upper side scoop is what the original '67 Bronze is really supposed to look like.

The repaint was a darker richer color.  The original color faded after a few years probably didn't look too good.

Rich,
Medium grey it is, silver comes to my mind though.

JD, I wonder if that is the Emberglow color they used in 66 ?
Kind of Bronze looking.

No, was not a 67 I looked at that was yellow, it was a 66 gt350
Knock off wheels, cobra G meter, R cage, sound deadened delete>> and more.

After 26 years, I thought it may have surfaced.
Respectfully submitted,

I know someone who has been looking for a 67 390 FB in burnt amber.
I told him he will be looking for awhile!

  Bronze, lime/gold, brittany blue, silver all seemed to me to "fade" down to a non glossy finish with less than ten years...back in the day.  Unless it was a extraordinary car that was little used and kept out of the sun.  Seems this was a paint supplier issue or an applicator induced issue.  And, for the most part, most of these cars where daily drivers back in the day.
  All these colors look good.  Bronze is attractive.  But, is that due to its small abount of cars painted that color?
  Emberglow:  More to the orange side of the color, not the same.

Based on JD's photo the color is much more of a sand or light Gold

they all are simply beautiful

I like them.
My sister had a gold Mustang coupe back in the 70s, and we bought the Emberglo T-bird.
(Sorry for the bad Mustang photo, scanning a 40 year-old instamatic camera print is apparently not the best  )

^^^That T-Bird is phenomenal.  Wow.

[mark p]

Thanks (all). that color did it for me, this one is # 1485 of the limited edition "Special Landau" models 

[Side-Oilers]

Love your T-Bird.  All of the bronze/Emberglo type colors make me fondly think of the mid-1960s. 

[Bigfoot]

I love the Emnerglo. Always wanted that color on something.
I think the Bronze is much flatter.

[Stillakid54]

Agree with all above, beautiful T bird!

[mark p]

Thanks guys, I maintain that Embergo [in the sun] really stands out 

... and I suppose this helps explain why I also really like the Number 4 LeMans GT40 in 1966 (Hawkins/Donahue)

If anyone knows the whereabouts of car #00152 please let us know!
We really need to see the VIN tag to confirm the paint color code, which we assume is '1' for Bronze Metallic.
