I'm always amazed at folks who will invest a TON of time and money in a restoration then paint the dang thing all wrong. That said... it's his car. He probably likes it. ...or he's colorblind.

I like the down draft carb and the updraft manifold! "Made to order" is what that car reeks of!, no fast food car here.

I see it one of three ways
He can't find his car in the dark
He lives in Alaska where it stays dark for days at a time
He works for the highway transportation in the sign division
