The Driver Suit Blog-Throwback Thursday-Davey Allison-1990

By David G. Firestone

Davey Allison’s first all-black Texaco Havoline Ford Thunderbird waits to get going in 1990.

For the most part, the scheme is good. The metallic gold works well on the door numbers, but the stripe, and side logos look a little odd. I do not like that white outline. It’s not needed, and makes the car look cluttered. Black is a really good background color for a race car. The color scheme is good, though I would make the metallic gold a tad lighter, so the white outline can be eliminated. All things considered, it is a really good scheme.

I'm just a normal guy who collects race-worn driver suits, helmets, sheet metal, and other race-worn items. I will use this blog to help collectors, and race fans alike understand the various aspects of driver suits and helmets, and commentate on paint schemes. View all posts by dgf2099
