OK....soliciting opinions...I am one of the few, the proud, the owner o a BLUE MM. If a certain deal comes thru this week I will be getting a 2nd one (YES keeping the blue one). Red or silver? Decisions..decisions... :D :D :banana:

Silver baby!!! :banana2:

Eaaasy to keep clean.

I don't mind the red at all...just like black though...shows all the spots. And I love black cars. Owned several of them.

I had an '03 black and traded for the silver '04. I spent more time washing and spit-shining the black one than driving it! :lol:

Well, if black is out of the question, then I'd say silver - I like the red, but the silver looks a little sinister...not that a MM in any color wouldn't look a little angry...

I went from a black 03' 300A to my Red 04', both great cars of course but the red is much easier to keep looking good.

Red; silver is too bland for my eyes.

If you go red, you'll have the 2 rarest colors. Silver is really easy to keep looking nice though.

It really doesn't matter, because you're going to spend some good cash getting a great paint job on it. It shall be light blue!:D :baaa: :D

I went from a 2003 300A black to a 2004 Silver. No more black cars for me. Silver is a breeze to keep clean.

I'd vote for Silver. Would make for a nice color theme! And, as stated ^^^ above, Silver will not show the dirt and dust as much.

Of course, you could add a White Crown Vic LX Sport to the mix and have a patriotic, Red, White and Blue thing happening. :up:

I've had both silver and dark red cars. As others have said, silver doesn't look dirty as fast, but-----------it's a lot more "common". The dark reds and maroons are a lot more distinctive------and they're not nearly as bad as black to keep looking good.

I really like the looks of my DTR with the dark charcoal interior. It looks rich and sharp (I think). Others do too. I was driving through a Walmart parking (with my windows down), looking for a parking spot, and a pedestrian calls out "sharp car".

One other possible benefit, however, for the silver is, that being not so distinctive (IMHO), it may not be picked on as much by the traffic nazi's.

My 2 cents anyway.

I have a Silver and it's easy to keep clean and doesn't show the dirt as much as a red one would, but a red one would be alot more rare, what matter's most of all is what will make you happier.

Why stop at 2?

Buy a red and silver one. A friend of mine has all 3 colors in the Impala SS, a burnt cherry, a green and black. :)

Brother Mike,

I, too, have BLUE. I love having the rarest color.

The color choice is a tough one. A lot depends on your priorities. Here is that way that I would think about it...

If you want stealth, and by that I mean a car that will slide in easier under "RADAR" the silver will be the better color. It is the hardest to spot from a distance.

If you want rareness and pure sex appeal then go with DTR.

If you want to be like most all of the other Marauder guys go with black. :lol: JUST KIDDING GUYS.

Best,

Dan

i saw carfixer's red 04 in person. they had a silver one on the floor at the dealership. my personal preference is the red-your eyes are just drawn to it.

The DTR gets more attention around other MM's but less on the street IMHO.

for an old man's Grand Marquis.....

I agree with Smokie. Any shade of dark Black is a good choice. If dark Black isn't available I would go with regular Black.

Just picked up my DTR MM yesterday. Dealer tells me only 500 produced. I love the way it changes color from almost dark maroon at night to bright red in full sunlight. :banana:

Ya, that's what you said in the beginning, but the Italian in you spoke out and said black, well the Pollock in me says Silver. Oh ya, the French in me also says Silver too. And by the way no Polish jokes, I've heard enough for a lifetime. Also, I was not born with a big nose either. :lol:
