Blue 914

Nice blue.
Darker than the pastel blue of mine.
I like the extra driving lamps on the hood and the built-in fog lights.
This car is from 1970-1974 (smaller bumpers).
Mine is from 1975 and has the larger bumpers.
Of all the car companies, Porsche did the best job of adapting to the new US bumper regulation in 1975.
The 914 & the 911 bumpers were some of the best integrated designs.
Of course they're larger and bulkier than the pre-regulation bumpers but the styling/design integration is very well done.

This car also has a custom cutout in the lower center for an oil cooler.
Also has a racing type of tow-eye installed.

The front turn indicator lamps are the European spec. (amber & white)  The US spec. ones are all amber.
