 Yes I have noticed the same thing. I have been to car shows and 
swap meets and around here it seems the ugly color cars did not get 
driven much. A few years ago I found a 64 Pontiac (lemans or 
tempest) with low miles and it was a ugly gold brown color. It was 
also supposedly from California. 
 That is another thing. How many old cars are out in California? 
That seems to be the big thing in northern IL or southern WI. I 
looked at a few cars this year and if they came from the south or 
the west it had to be 10 or 20 years ago.
 My 77 Gremlin had 50000 some miles on it. I believed it because it 
had original paint and was never messed with. It just looked 
possiable. My 71 Matador has about the same mileage. You would never 
guess it though. I bought it from the original owner and it sat 
outside since it was new. It runs good. It sat outside this last 
winter  with battery in it and it started right up after sitting for 
5 to 6 months.
