455Grandville raises an interesting question in my mind: what IS the differential ratio on the Grand Villes? Were different rear ends listed as options? Were different trannies listed as options? For that matter, was any engine other than the 455 an option for the Grand Villes (I happen to know that mine will be a 455, but could it have been otherwise from the factory?)?
Teneesseestorm,
Well, yellow COULD have been rare because no one wanted it even back then, and why should people have changed their minds since? Still, at LEAST it's a primary color, and not some off the wall shade. The car will start looking prettier and prettier to me if the engine purrs like a kitten and pulls like a bull.
Tweetie-bird yellow or cow-pie-brown? Gotta wonder what some people were thinking when they chose the colors of their new cars. I mean, didn't they contemplate posterity, and what future generations would think?
