I remember seeing a white car and there is a pic of it in the Carroll 
book. There may have been others, but the memory fades after so long. 
When I went to buy my car, I ordered Midnight Blue. The dealer called a 
couple of days later and said I would have to wait six weeks for that 
color. OTOH I could have either white or green right away. I chose 
Forest Green (86). My first new car. I still have it.
