    "wreck me" explaination

    The gentleman that I bought the wgn from in Murphy NC ran his own body/paint shop.He mixed all the blue paints from previous accident repairs and used it for the top half of the wgn..he did likewise with all the gray/silver paint for the bottom half of the wagon. He then applied a pearl clearcoat over the whole car(looks cool in the sun) and added a thin red pinstripe between the 2 colors..sounds odd ,but really looks good..IMO. Therefore that is where the wreck-me blue and wreck-me silver come from!!:clap:
