It’s no secret that we’re keen on a themed, clever name for our finish options – but what about B5 Blue and F8 Green? They seem to stand out from the batch of names, especially to someone unfamiliar with the brand. The truth is it has to do with the way colors were being coded starting in 1969. The factory stopped using a broadcast sheet, also known as a build sheet, and made the switch to a fender tag, or data plate, that year. In most cases, that meant a three-character code that consisted of letters and numbers. So, how did B5 Blue and F8 Green get their names? Now you know one more thing than you did yesterday.
