	I would imagine that at some point the paint might be scraped / sanded 
/ sandblasted off.  Otherwise, with red/cream, gray/white, orange/white, 
yellow/white, 1765 might not be able to pass another car on a turn!
	Interesting that 1765 got painted gray just before the rebirth and 
overhaul that brought out Don's favorite paint schemes!  In just a little over 
a year, 1765 could have been chosen for not only the first face lift, but also 
an excellent overhaul!
