Silver and blue/silver would not last long in the late 70s and early 80s. I had a light blue 77 Cordoba that the paint fell off of. And I mean fell of. Beautiful car when the paint was good. But I didn't get 5 years out of the paint. Seen a lot of other cars and trucks with those colors with major paint problems. And the manufacturers certainly would not stand behind their failures.
Yes, the blue, blue/silver '81 and '82 Blunder Motors trucks were quite a sight all running around with black hoods in the mid 80's.
Those were the days. Best ride, best body, best drivetrain, most power, best re sale value, best fuel mileage, the best, the best, the best.
They were a joke back then and still are today.
Have a blue '83 Ram and the paint is still stuck to it just fine.
