Of course trends probably occurred and died at different times across the country but I don't recall any 60's cars with names on them...on the other hand I remember lots of 50's cars with things like "Lil Angel" and a few puffy clouds on the rear fender....neighbor had a 55 or 56 Chevy with just that on the powder blue fender...I thought it was the coolest thing to see...that would have been about 1960/61. I think name painting on cars died in the very early 60's...at least I don't remember seeing any after then.

Went to HS 64-68 and remember nobody painting anything on their muscle cars. But Mopar certainly created wild (at least in name) colors...eg Plum Crazy Purple, Panther Pink, Sub Lime, Lemon Twist, etc.

Regards, Bob
