THE ORIGINAL AMERICAN IDEL


The Corvette Mako Sark in1961: Bill Michael, GM Vice president of Styling wanted to paint this Car with Shark's color, because it was inspired from the real Mako Shark he has caught during his vacation. Bill asked GM's paint-shop to paint a exactly as same color as the Shark's model in his office that was molded out from the Shark. However, The color never came out good after their many attempts, and they happened to paint his model taking out of his office as same color as the car at end. Bill looked so happy about the color, according to my friend.


この車はビル・ミッチェルが休暇中に釣ったアオザメからデザインのヒントを得たらしい。だから彼はこの車をアオザメの色に塗装したかったらしい。GMの塗装係に頼んで、彼が休暇から持ち帰ったその剥製モデルと同じ色を希望したらしいが、なかなか上手かなっかたようだ。結局モデラーは困り果てて、モデルの方に車のカラーを塗装にして誤摩化したらしい。

気づいてか、気づかなかったのか, 彼は終止 至極ご満悦だったらしい。
