NASCAR Paint Schemes Used to Be Great, What Happened?
Okay, of course, back in the old days when they drove (mostly) actual cars … you just can’t beat the look and paint schemes … stenciled and applied by hand, no doubt …
And of course, how cool would it have been to see the Superbird and Charger with the crazy wings in the late 1960’s actually racing …
Even making pink manly …
And even when they moved to the “fake” stock body over a race car (of course, safety makes sense) …
And through the 2000’s …
But now, what happening? Why is it so DULL today? Like they inputted the sponsor names and a computer program just spit something out?
Fguly …
O the other Pixar and Mattel have done an amazing job of creating the retro look that looks and feels so real on screen and in 3D rolling form … now if NASCAR can find a few designers …
Even on a Next Gen body …

I think that today’s problem may be that there is no personalization in the paint schemes. All that’s representing the driver on the car is the signature above the door. It’s all sponsors and advertising everywhere else! It also may be that everything is very minimalist today. Like the Next Gens! Thanks for the post, Met!
Man! I love the old paint schemes and bodies! Everything from the late ’40s to the early 2000s!
