Did the California Special come with stripe colors other than white or black from the Ford factory?
White, black, red and a medium blue according to the Paul's book
Off the subject a little not sure of the available stripes for High Country or the Gold Nugget specials - the Calif Special's cousins that year and car production plant
Sometimes the Calif Specials were also ordered with the painted stripes on the side above the stick on ones. Those colors are coded into the information Kevin Marti has access to. Would expect that those stripes matched the original color of the stick on decal Calif Special stripes. They did on the ones I've owned that had the painted stripe option
How do we know if an owner changed the stripe color (from say white to black or visa versa)
Any paint / stripe color list info out there?
Might be called out/listed on the buildsheet. Haven't done a survey on the coding in the odd numbered boxes and compared them to the know original stripe color.
