The colorful world of the Porsche seventies
If you drive past a Porsche dealership today, you will probably only see black, anthracite, silver or dark blue (métallic) cars.
But that was quite different at the end of the sixties and through the seventies, as the excerpts shown here from the color charts of the time (1974, standard and special colors) prove.
The colors had more or less intuitive, but in any case artistic names such as mexico blue, perurot, sahara beige, Indian red, cockney brown, signal orange, acid blue, lilac, carmine red , eggplant, Irish green, gulf blue, light green or fraise.
And the cars looked something like this ...
... or like this. Surely this also made a cheerful impression in traffic, as it automatically created a joy of life and driving (?).
A test report of such a signal orange colored Porsche 911 S from 1969 can be read here.
