Cars which have one panel colored different from the rest have a certain panache. They also suffer from the taint of the junkyard. Motley Cars are born with that variegated appeal, or at least modified to have it shortly after birth.
A lot full of gaily colored standard cars mix up their panels,
such that no two panels on one car are the same color. This could be done by a dealer looking for some attention. Good fun, cheap and the cars drive just the same.
Only 72 of these cars will be made...

I should mention that the Motley Cars are all the same make and model. |

While working on the assembly line in 1970 something
got out of sync with the colors of front ends coming
from another line to be bolted on to the cars on our
line. The result was 50-60 cars built with different
colors on the front fenders and hoods from the paint
on the rest of the body. The timing of the lines was
straightened out and the cars were painted. No
longer motley. |

Thought I had seen a battleship dazzle pattern car pic once, but could only find this one... |

[cudgel], are you a Jack Vance fan? |

+ why not? ( You said *gaily*!) I'm wondering if this
idea would appeal to a certain segment of the
