I don't know, gotta wonder which was first.... I suppose some pinstriping probably started the whole thing???? I still like the right car, two tone paint or one color with a complimenting or offsetting accent color, and the whole thing very understated. The old "less is more" thing....

PS....I do have to admit though----once upon a time a had a Cutlas that was black with lace---in lacquer---but it doesn't really count cuz I was young and still did a lot of drugs.....
