if memory serves me correct,
that color was first "officially" introduced by Ford on the Escort around 1993.
or maybe it was a color that was close in color.
i think the color on the escort had a Pearl clear coat like the Lincoln Mark VII (which was Pearl White).

No No, the McLaren color was quite a bit lighter in tint.

With all do respect we are talking about a color used on a 1990 ASC McLaren. Unless 1993 was a typo? Did you mean Ford officially introduced the color on the Escort in 1983???

no, i meant ford "officially" introduced the color in 93.
Reason I say "officially" is that 87-90 asc colors were not all ford paint colors, nor did Ford have any say or choice as to what colors asc painted the cars.
hense the pink color was first put on a FORD by FORD around 1993.
hope that made sense.
again, non of that matters because the color sandy is talking about & the one I am are different shades. :?
