Camera works really well! Nice car, too ;-)

Nice car. Why is it your kids and not yours? :)
Beauty. I hope he kept the stock rims :). Anyway, the fasback imho is SO much better looking than the coupe. In fact, that right there is my favorite year and body style of all. From '69-'04 they do nothing for me.

That's Marin county on the north shore of the bridge. The Golden Gate bridge spans the 'golden gate' which was the entry path to the gold mining areas of N. California long before the bridge was built. It's also got "golden hills" because it's pretty dry. The actual bridge isn't even red, rather a pale Campbell's tomato soup orange-red. Tourists constantly ask "Is it always that color?" Yes, and from a distance it looks darker red.

Nothing wrong with your PC, the camera is bad and there is not enough light there is no way I could focus on the stone in the rear tire
And here I was trying to give you an out if it wasn't my computer....
so the question still remains.... what color is it?

Looks midnight blue to me.
Looks kind of like Caspian Blue at sunset...

You're older than dirt, Spike. :)~ I went to Loma Verde too. You probably remember what it was like with the base housing and an active Hamilton Airforce base. Things have changed. My sister lives in Novato so I get a glance of the old stomping grounds once in a while
It's dark brown metallic, the previous owner's choice. Not a Ford color. Ironically it was maroon from the factory, my second or third favorite color for cars (behind black cherry and that medium blue they used on '69 Chevys, Nassau Blue I think).
