Ford's Wild 1969-70 Color Choices (photos)
With the introduction of the new Maverick in 1969, Ford also created unique names for their paint colors in order to appear hipper. The "medium blue" paint on the truck, was known as "There She Blue" for the Maverick. Wanna see the rest?
1. 1970 F-100 - There She Blue/Knight White
Of course, 1970 was the golden age of two-tone trucks, and this F-100 is a well-preserved example. The medium blue on the top half was also known to sales staff as the nautical "There She Blew", while the bottom half is a white that on Mavericks was called "Knight White". Or it is possible this is the slightly different "Acapulco Blue", also known as medium bright blue, but they are nearly impossible to tell apart.

2. 1972 F-100 - Three Putt Green
This truck has been in the same family for many years and has been very loving restored to better than new condition, including a coat of what look like Ford's medium ivy green. Order this color on the new Maverick and it was given the name "Three Putt Green", though that seems the opposite of youthful and edgy, and more suburban and middle aged. You can get the whole story on this truck over at Hot Rod.

6. 1976 F-250 - Counter Revolutionary Red
The two most far out colors that Ford had in 1970 were a green called "Anti-Establish Mint", and "Counter Revolutionary Red", which is the same as the factory candy apple red trucks. Can you imagine a less counter-revolutionary image than this 4 x 4, lifted, with twin American flags in the back? If the Yankees had one of these in 1776 they'd all be talking American in England by now.
