Another insight I've acquired, right or wrong, is the meaning of colors.
Today, black is a popular color for performance cars and just about everything else.
But back in the 1960s, it was more formal. It was not unusual to find a Cadillac or Lincoln in black; ditto Buicks and Cadillacs. But for other classes of cars, it was prob MOR at best, and it most certainly didn't carry the cache of performance the way it does today. Look at documented production numbers for cars like Mustangs and Mopars and you'll never see black at the top of the list.
