    Its funny how people get hung up on what a particular marque should be, when their impressions are based on decades-old marketing campaigns. Ford worked on one or two four door Mustang proposals in the 1960s, along with a Kammback wagon. IIRC GM toyed with a wagon concept for the 1970s or '80s Firebird as well. The manufacturers are free to take their nameplate in whatever direction they wish.

    Just about every say I see a variety of colors, along with the white and grey.

    It seems minitrucks have been popular. How much can you haul with those?

    I've been seeing orangy, coppery and bronzy colors for years. Also browns are back in fashion along with earth tones.

    In that case in the 1970s there were ugly cars painted in ugly colors. 😄 Honestly I'm not into muscle cars and their high impact colors either.

    In the early 1990s I was a member of the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, ME. At Halloween we ran the Terror Trolley. I posted pics of one I partially decorated in 1990. I did the eyes and mouth. (The eye cutouts are affixed over marker lights that had red lenses). One year I helped with a vignette along the right of way. I wore a hooded coat and splashed a little lighter fluid on a fire as the trolley went past.

    FWIW there was a petroleum pomo with Mack B and tanker trailer in 1:32 scale produced several years ago.

    1981 Note the maintenance machinery made from the cab of an International truck. TP&W stood for Toledo, Peoria and Western, though I'm not sure of its actual route offhand.

    The mack would look nicer with a round nose trailer. FWIW Ertl offered one or two 1950s tractor trailers in 1:25 scale diecast in the early 1990s or so. https://www.ebay.com/itm/326545392858
