Is rust a color?

What do we have here?

...a four door saloon...

...the dead giveaway...

Cruisin' down the steet in my '64...

I wonder if the person who bought this bought it because of that Easy-E song and at what point was the "project" abandoned because they realized that they had bought a rust bucket?

Don't take my ramblings as hate. Yes I generally hate Chevy products but I would happily drive this particular automobile...

I mean, look at this thing glistening in the morning sun...

...and the copper painted driver's rear wheel is a nice touch. Only one more question...

...What color was this thing when it left the factory in 1964?
