A pair of S550's
A pair of S550's
Funny how pre-conceived notions and perceptions can change.
I've been itchin' to see a '15 convertible in Triple Yellow. I was convinced that this would be the hot combo. I even gave a fleeting thought to perhaps giving up my black '14 and getting a TY ragtop in '16 or '17.
And when I first saw a Ruby Red S550 on a dealer lot last December, I remember thinking that the color didn't work anywhere near as well as on an S197. I just didn't get the warm fuzzies.
Yesterday at a local cruise event, two 2015's made an appearance. I rushed to see the TY 'vert that had just rolled in, and frankly it did nothing for me. It just didn't explode in my face as I thought it would.
And the Ruby Red that I was so d@mn sure was the wrong color? Well, I stand corrected. That color did explode in my face.

There's a ruby red with PP at my dealer. when i'm in there for whatever reason i sit nearby and stare at it. It's ben there a while though. Priced a bit high at 51k cdn i guess.
love the new interior- the angled 'stripes' on the door panel kinda remind me of silverhorse door handles, maybe ford got some inspiration from those...

on the yellow, I dont dislike the color, but think a bit bolder- like old corvette daytona yellow- might look even better- its a little on the pastel side to me. the red looks a lot like the old 'redfire' color, a favorite shade of mine, even if I prefer blue...that redfire just 'pops' in the sun unlike any factory color ive ever seen...
