Dragon in the July Newsletter
« on: July 04, 2019, 06:23:40 PM »
Are those correct colors and top for the maroon Dragon in this months newsletter?  Maybe I have never seen a maroon Dragon.
No old cars owned.

The car color was Maroon Velvet Metallic with a vinyl top color described in the Confidential Bulletin as "Bleached".  Color code for paint is 107 (it is a lacquer color) with the color shown in photos.  I am not saying it is exact shade/etc as the colors would do their fade thing over time like a lot of other K-F  (like 1951's Caribbean Coral) colors did.

More Maroon Dragons was made towards the last of The Dragons Run. I don’t see it with The Name on the Dragon List. Paint is 107 & Trim 5313.

Picture in Newsletter looks close with Quality of Picture.
Research on All Vinyl Dragons & Dragon List.

I have seen pictures of a dragon in that color. I think it's the best looking color for that particular car.

Yes I really like that color but wanted some comments about correctness.  I'll google it to see if I can find some photos.  The seller did not include a phone number in the ad.  I was sent a Roster but I need to locate it.
