I think I like the gold/bronze color better than the yellow. The lettering is easier to read on the later design. I'm sure the Jeg's sponsorship had something to do with the yellow paint. The gold leaf on the 72 MM was the best of all of the Missiles. Black and gold just seem to look good together. I seem to remember a Corvette ran by BoLaws that had black and gold paint. I always liked that car even if it was a Cheebie.
