Some nice cars here..made me think. Strangely, in 40 years of owning cars in some pretty wild colours at times, never once owned a two tone car. Has anyone else?

I was going to mention these ,most Fords of this era looked good with a sensible 2 colour selection.

Yes, Ford, perhaps more than any other mainstream manufacturer, did like two tone paint jobs:

If they start to look grubby, a brass wire brush cleans them up nicely.
