[QUOTE=merziac;23637835]This might be a good idea, I was just at the Shelby museum and they had a couple of the first ones there on loan.

Stemwinder, you posted while I was posting on Pearl Tusk, sorry I didn’t see your post earlier. Addressing you and Merziac, “Wimbledon White” as used on 60s Fords including all 1965 GT350s, is creamier than what I see on Bridgestone bikes. I indicated “Pearl Tusk” was “slightly creamy” … well, to me, “Wimbledon White” has all the cream, and its often called a “dirty white” for that reason.
