How should i paint 65 barracuda grill?
They weren't all painted body color. When I was a kid I walked past the Chrysler/Plymouth garage and the Ford garage every day to get to school. In September of 1964 I walked by and both places had the new '65s under covers until the release date. In those days on the new model release day you could go in and get hot dogs, hamburgers, free pop, popcorn, candy,balloons, trinkets and usually have an opportunity to win some prizes.(if you were 18 or some old age like that...) Anyway, I walked by each day wondering what kind of new excitement lurked under those big white sheets. Finally, one Saturday my Dad and I went down to the shops and watched them unveil the new '65 models. The boring Fords uncovered theirs earlier and after we left the Ford shop we went over and saw the Chrysler/Plymouths. The first one uncovered was some big Chrysler which I can't remember. The next was a 1965 Sport Fury convertible and the last one was a Barracuda. It didn't seem real exciting as I had seen the same model for 64-1/2. This one WAS a Formula S though which was pointed out with signs and posters they brought out as soon as it was uncovered. It was turquoise with a white stripe and I distinctly remember the grille center was matte black. Since I saw that black grille on new model release day in '65 I have always preferred them painted that way. It may have been the only one that was done that way but ALL weren't body color.
