Mistral Blue

I mentioned this before, but a few people have missed it. Vintage Thunder is going to be painted in a color from the Jaguar S-Type sedan, called "Mistral Blue Metallic." It's a complex blue that changes appearance in different lighting. It is considered by some to be the most beautiful color Jaguar ever offered.



The idea behind the color was to pay homage to the gleam of Airstreams without being too derivative. Originally we had considered a metallic champagne color, to acknowledge the cream "twinky" color of the Argosy that it used to be, but when I saw the color chip for Mistral Blue at the Cherry Blossom Rally, I had to have it.

I believe that this will be the world's only metallic blue Argosy (or Airstream). It certainly will be interesting to see amidst other trailers at the next rally! People have speculated that surrounding trailers will reflect the color and take a bit of it on themselves.



I wish they'd get it painted already ... the suspense is killing me ...
