RAIII Formulas at the TA Nationals
There were 3 RAIII Formulas at this years event (that I saw). There was a twin to mine but loaded and restored along with a Vedero Green/green deluxe Formula driver. ..pretty cool.

I'd hoped to make it down on Sunday AM, but didn't get far enough along on my "chores" on Saturday

I just did a quick count of the RAIII cars I've saved info on over the years... 12 Lucy Blue ones, 32 other colors. Not likely statistically significant... but that's about 1 in 4 being Lucerne. It was almost certainly the most common color on a Formula in '70.

Mines not a RA but it's a Lucerne blue Formula as well.

Dennis, thanks for using the book as a reference. I can say that those are as accurate as we know today.
What I will say is that the Trans Am color breakdown is incorrect! When I submitted the .xls files, something in formatting got transposed and the blue-to-white color numbers are off. I planned to correct this in a subsequent printing, but Cartech opted to not reprint the book after the initial run sold out... |
