5 Paint Jobs That Scream ‘Summer Road Trip'

Classic Trends - June 03, 2021

With the majority of the cars on the road being black (23%), white (19%), and gray (18%), it is easy to forget that highways were once as colorful as the landscapes around them. With summer set to bloom and towns reopening across the country, we all have road trips on the brain. These classic cars with unique paint jobs are matched with an equally-classic road trip itinerary so inspiring, you might be tempted to call in to work and hit the road. 

Green car

1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Club Victoria  

This two-door Ford Fairlane 500 is basically begging for a road trip in the Pacific Northwest. 

The stunning style-tone combination of celadon green and cream is tied together by the original gold, anodized textured aluminum side trim.

Ford said the revolutionary thin-line design of the roof gives you “that wide-open convertible-feeling with greater strength and a sedan snugness.” The Full-Vision windshield is perfect for taking in the landscapes, waterfalls, and towns up and down the Olympic Peninsula. 

blue car

1971 Ford Bronco

This turquoise Ford Bronco is a moving oasis made for a desert road trip. From Death Valley to Zion National Park, desert-dwellers might mistake you for a mirage thanks to this eye-popping paint job.. With the lustre of the infamous turquoise stone, this Bronco is a true gem that will get you anywhere you need to go.

pink car

1956 Nash Rambler

When was the last time you saw a coral car? This 1956 Nash Rambler inspires feelings of nostalgia that can only be quenched with a long drive down Route-66. The chrome accents on this coral and white beauty might break a few necks while driving down our most historic highway. Dubbed the “most important car American Motors ever built,” the Rambler is widely acknowledged as the first successful compact car in the USA.

1973 International Scout II

Is the sun setting or is that you cresting the horizon in this tangerine 1973 International Scout II? Energetic and attention-grabbing, you couldn’t help but feel happy while driving this. With a factory removable hardtop, it’s not hard to imagine the sun shining on you while cruising the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

1952 Jaguar XK-120

Best. For. Last. 

It is hard to imagine any road that this cherry red 1952 Jaguar XK-120 would not look stunning on. However, it is only fair that this open two-seater is driven on our nation’s most beautiful road: the Pacific Coast Highway. Even though you are state-side, you are bound to feeling like Michael Caine in The Italian Job while cruising the coastline in this stunning coupe.
