George you like yellow, because it stands out, and you don't see many yellow car anymore.  I remember by brothers 2nd car was a 1965 Dodge Dart GT.  It was originally blue, but he painted it yellow and did the hood coves in black.  This was a really cool stand out auto.  He eventually sold it and picked up a 66 Cadillac Sedan De Ville, all black.  What a flip flop there.

Well the car itself does absolutely nothing for me, but the color is nice.  Thanks!

George, I'd wager if you were a young buck in 1909 It would have had an effect!

@charles-rockett, I don't doubt you in the least.  LOL, I'm glad I'm not an "old buck" back in 1909, as I wouldn't be here now and I'd probably have missed out on cars from the '40's going forward.

This is true, but you would've had a glamorous 'last ride'!

@perrone1, WOW a nice group of Lemons...um, I mean Cars there Tony!  All beautiful!  

I've always liked Yellow in its many shades, with the shade on the Woody Ford and the Caddy of your photos being what I consider to be the almost perfect shade of Yellow.  

If I had my way, I'd have the walls in our home all Yellow.  It's a HAPPY color that always brings a Smile to my face. 

Have you owned any yellow 1:1's George?

I think I have, personally, only owned one. 50th Anniversary Z06:

Btw i just recently found out (perhaps because of my over 100 years old eyes...) that these Duesenberg models of 1933,1935 and 1940 had the word STOP on their tail / brake lights.

@perrone1, NO I have not been lucky enough to own a REAL Yellow car.  If I were to buy a new Camaro or Challenger though, I'd certainly want it to be Yellow.

@donderbeestje  "Some cars really are too yellow"

In my humble opinion, the only way a car can be too yellow, is if the sunshine is not bright enough.
