In honor of a few threads on here (Porsche stripes, Chevy truck retro, Rad era, etc.) I was thinking of my favorite factory graphics on non-race cars through the years.
To start mild, I've always liked the old school Audi ring fade door graphics:
On the wild side, I have a soft spot for the S/C Rambler (although I like the B-scheme a bit more)
Whats everyone's favorites to break-up the sea of white/silvers/grays?
I wouldn't say no to a vw caddy width sportruck graphics.
I don't know if this is necessarily a favorite, but it deserves some kind of mention.

Came in to profess my fondness for the original "bounce" stripe
But I will post this as a mic drop
If you are going black and gold it has to be this one.
In reply to Toyman! :
I'm with Toyman here. Iconic. The Lotus is gorgeous, but not iconic.
Does this count as a factory graphics package?
Do the BMW Art Cars count?
Always the Fiat 500 Abarth. I think the only really modern car with old school graphics.
Always fond of the old school Discovery Graphics.
I liked a lot of the graphics packages that were available on the Samurai in the 80s-90s.

Cool colours on them too.
I'm partial to the Detroit Grand Prix pace car Mercury Capri:

I wish it didn't have words in the middle of it, but I love this color and this graphic on it
And a personal fave: AAR ’Cuda.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Yes! I really loved those. Runner Up is the 340 Wedge package.

I was always partial to the Ford "laser stripe" that they put on Torinos.

it's a shame that colour makes the car look like a bloated whale.
Japanese 4x4's always have the coolest graphics!
