I've always loved the Orange and White myself...also love the D.C. "Stars & Bars"...too many cities have lost their originality and gone to white/red if you ask me!!!

Balto's Original color scheme was red fenders with white body. Basically every orange part used to be red prior to 1973.



DC's on the other had was white and red prior to the Stars & Bars. DC would paint the very top of the roof white and then had a large white strip around the cab/body.



I do agree some of the paint schemes made city's very identifiable. Although some of the paint schemes were not the original per say. I myself prefer Solid RED, Solid White, or Black over RED. Stay Safe.
