What's the most unique production paint job you ever saw?
What's the most unusual, unique, or eye-catching production automotive paint job you ever saw?
I think, for me, it has to be the multi-colored option VW offered where every body panel on a Golf Harlequin was painted a different color....it made the car look like a Rubik Cube.
I saw this in an old VW showroom across the street from where I used to work (it later became a Pontiac shop, and then closed for good). When I first saw it, I was incredulous and asked the salespeople of it was factory paint or simply done in the dealer body shop. They got the price sticker and showed me the actual paint-code for it. It was offered on the Golf only in 1996.
Th Harlequin package, BTW, differed from car to car. Not all of them had the same panels painted the same colors.
(BTW, IMO, owning a car painted like this would just be a loud invitation for some low-life to come along and key it. I can just imagine war insurance ran for it. Must have been a body-shop nightmare).

Cadillac had a factory production pink back in the 50s, when it was considered a hot automotive color. Later pink Caddies (which were not really pink per se, but a pinkish-beige) were special-order Mary Kay Cosmetics vehicles for their most successful salespeople. Mary Kay now has a patent on that color, and no one else can order it. Occasionally, the company also ordered pink Buicks and Pontiacs (perhaps to save money?)

Cadillac Mandrian Orange, with matching orange plaid seats
Also, you could get a pink Cadillac in the 70's, color was called Cerise Firemist. I know it was an option in 75 and 76, maybe 1974 as well
