I absolutely loved these two schemes below. The first one is Brett Bodine's scheme from 1988 driving for Bud Moore. The second one is Davey Allison's first version of the Texaco car and best version of that car IMO.
Yeah most of today's are definitely more flashy than the old one's but there are some of those old schemes that were revolutionary for their time. I still contend that the Davey Allison and DW Western Auto schemes could still hold up today as slick paint jobs.
The classic black 3 always looks solid. I love #18 green interstate batteries car.. the #28 black havoline that Kenny Irwin and Rudd drove... Steve Park's yellow #1 car... and DJ's blue QC car.
