That will explain why in 1976 the green color was the lowest color on Corvettes..I surely don't have enough time to change it to RED and still make it to Pigeon Forge?? Please,  will you all pray that the GREEN on my car is lucky..Thanks Ken, for the history lesson....

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

Now, now, I just said that's where it started.  Like many old superstitions, it's just that.

My brother had a motorcylce for several years, and somehow found a green helment.   Green is his favorite color.   Never once did the helmet and the grass/ground meet.

So here is the analogy.  The curse did not apply to my brother.  This is my extended family.  So all of you are my brothers and sisters.  As such, due to historical evidence, you are all exempt.  Green is Okay!

That is the darkest green I have ever seen. What is it called?
