    Nope. It's because they were that way from the factory. I had a '67 Mustang that was painted Diamond Green. From Only Mustang Fords:

    White Paint Variations

    Both of these "diamond" colors are tints of a basic white and unless seen side by side with a plain white or the Wimbledon White you may be hard pressed to tell the difference.

    Diamond Green Code H - late 67 carried into 68
    Diamond Blue Code N - late 67 carried into 68

    The paint looked white in the garage, but had a slight green tint in the sun. I would think Edv96buick's Diamond Blue was the same.

    Sold the Dodge Dakota a couple of weeks ago. Buyer immediately put it on HIS Craig's List (Portland) for $3,300 more than he paid me for it. (Good luck with that.....)
    Soooo...... we're down to ONE vehicle at the present time (2018 Ford Edge Titanium). This might last a while....... Bought some new living room furniture, and we're doing some traveling this summer - an Alaska cruise, and then Las Vegas for the the wife's 50th high school reunion (She didn't attend HS in Vegas - that's just where the reunion is.....)

    I used to own this Toyota Corolla wagon, just having dug up the only 2 photos I still have left. I think, it was an '82.
    I also owned an Audi A6 and still own 2 Japanese vehicles which don't fit what one would think would qualify as a true wagon.
    If my Corolla didn't have a real bumper, you could imagine the damage resulting. A drunk rear-ended it, early in the morning. Then took off. I was drunk myself. So, no cops. But I did find his house and car

    Updated from previous post:

    Following what I’ve seen in the thread, even though I consider some of these minivans or SUVs instead of wagons. All in order of acquisition.

    Past:
    84 Cavalier - 2.0 TBI, 3 spd auto - 4 years
    90 Pontiac 6000 - 3.1 MPFI, 4 spd auto - 18 years
    86 Celebrity - 2.8 carb, 4 spd auto - 8 years
    90 Lumina APV - 3.1 TBI, 3 spd auto - 3 years
    89 Pontiac 6000 - 2.8 MPFI, 4 spd auto - 9 years
    92 Trans Sport - 3800, 4 spd auto - 9 years
    91 or 92 Escort - 4 cyl, 5 spd stick - was a gift, never drove far

    Current:
    91 Geo Tracker - 1.6, 5 spd stick - since 2013
    96 Cherokee XJ - 4.0, 5 spd stick - since 2015
    89 Cutlass Cruiser - 3.1 MPFI (swap from 2.8), 4 spd auto - since 2018
    90 Celebrity - 3.1 MPFI, 4 spd auto - since 2025

    As far as any non wagons, I think there were 3. 93 Corsica 3.1, and 91 Cavalier 4 cyl. 1 current, my longest owned car - 1989 Celebrity 4 door, 3.1 MPFI (swap from 2.8), 4 spd auto, since 2003 as of this coming weekend, and main ride every summer. Rolled 315k yesterday and runs perfect. Swapped engine in 2004 has 7k more.

    No vehicle changes here since my last post above in December, 2023. Still just one non-wagon vehicle, the 2018 Ford Edge. Currently getting around 21mpg out of it.

    A couple of months back I did help locate a new vehicle for #1 daughter, who had been without a vehicle for quite some time. Found her a fairly nice 2007 Mazda5 minivan. It has a 5-speed manual in it. She loves it.

    Within the last week or two, I did TRY to buy a 4WD Dodge Colt Vista minivan, but it's a ways away, and the seller seems to want to sell it locally. I'm still nudging him with messages though.

    They stopped making Vistas decades ago. If it's a low-milage one-owner, I'd go for it, simply because there are less electronics and unnecessary gadgetry to go wrong

    It's a '91, the last year sold. 2 liter 4-cylinder, so it's a bit slow. This one though has all the nice stuff on it - fancy 2-tone paint, and a deluxe interior, including power windows. I missed it though. It's gone to a new owner, who isn't me.......
