Afaik, both colours officially exist

Jun 11, 2021,15:39 PM
 

I am not expert but here is a thread from a forum: "(Fly and Modena) are not the same colours. Giallo Fly is a deeper, richer Yellow than Giallo Modena, although everyone has to admit that its very hard to tell if cars in both colours do not stand close enough to identify the colour."
My experience is that Modena is an "older" paint name and that Fly was struck in the 60s as something quite catchy and was initiated with the 275 GTB. The shade specifics are beyond me

Sweet yellow candies from the Sixties / Seventies. Let's see what we have!

Yellow probably is a color which is very linked to the 60's and 70's. The good thing is that it matches with some nice cars. Let's see what we have. Ferrari 246 Dino: Fiat 850 Coupé: Fiat Dino Spider: Yellow is not a italian thing, as we found this color ...  

That beautiful Dino!

It’s a great colour on “Super Cars” of the era. ...  

Merak, the second one?

The epic Bora ! ...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : June 11th, 2021-08:15
Started with a 4.7 and then 4.9-litre V8, the Bora had fully independent suspension, disc brakes and air conditioning.

Bora, indeed!

Let's not forget the German machines

 
 By: VinnieD : June 11th, 2021-08:07
But yes, that Giallo Fly Dino is amazing: strong racing roots (and a little bit Belgian too with that Ecurie Francorchamps colour) ...  

another gorgeous german

...saw a new Bentley convertible in Palm Beach a week or so ago that was a very bold shade of yellow. It was very appropriate in its surroundings.

No picture?

Which one is this?

 
 By: amanico : June 11th, 2021-16:52

In Toyota technical terms it's a TE-27 Corolla. In '71 they came out with this 1200cc fastback coupe. In 72 there was a 1600cc "hemi" option which is what I bought. RWD,

tossable, light (under 2000 lbs) and fun. Thought I wanted a red one but ended up buying this mustard yellow... and loved it. Nice styling which I improved by blacking out the lower section and window frames. My 1st "new" car purchase.

I didn't know that one.

What a delightful post on these old machines

Particularly love the Ferrari Dino and Alpine… those curves are gorgeous. I often think about the glorious machines of the past as to where we are headed with all these EVs. I can’t help but feel that my heart has been left behind with these old school ca...

1. Dino 2. 310 (this specific foto) 3. Spider (tie for no 2 if the 310 is in standard body) 4. 110 (tie for no 2 if the 310 is in standard body)

1960s-1970s are the most beautiful period automobiles

1970s ? how could you forget this one 😋 ...  

1960s

and so many Giallo Ferraris

IMHO Dino is the most beautiful Ferrari

Arguably the 250 family are equally godly gorgeous (GTO, SWB, Lusso, LM)

Opel GT 1970

These are all from my personal ownership (or else I repaired them) ... and I suppose alphabetical order is as good as any, so let's start with CITROEN The Yellow van originally built in Argentina, later moved to the states and restored by a guy in Chicago...
