Throwback Thursday-Derrike Cope-1990

By David G. Firestone

Upset winner of the 1990 Daytona 500 Derrike Cope poses with his Purolator Chevy Lumina before the race.

Another odd shade of red, a bit too light to be red, but not light enough to be pink. The #10 has an odd fade design, that clashes with the rest of the car. It’s not a bad look, but it’s out of place on this car. The checkered design looks good on the back of the car. I would prefer the side lettering would be red, rather than blue, it does clash with the car design. The one thing I don’t understand is the checkered pattern on the hood. It just doesn’t look good at all.

I'm just a normal guy who collects race-worn driver suits, helmets, sheet metal, and other race-worn items. I will use this blog to help collectors, and race fans alike understand the various aspects of driver suits and helmets, and commentate on paint schemes.
