Cascade Green on a '60? - special brakes/wheels with dog bowl wheel centre caps?
If that is actually a metallic lime green colour (color for colonials) then I think it's a great colour. Quite adventurous (even in the 'States). Reminds me of the latest model Dinky/Corgi Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 3 bought for my 10th birthday..... resplendent with it's white tyres, working suspension and jewelled headlights......finished in a very scandalous (for the day) metallic lime green.
Note
The '66 Ford Fairlane 390 GTA owned in the early 90's had been resprayed in black. It was originally finished in Lime Gold Poly (as was the interior)

How The Color Green Became A Deadly Bad-Luck Superstition In Racing
In order to avoid pinching on St. Patrick’s Day, you’re supposed to wear green at school, the office, or the horribly overcrowded faux-Irish pub you find yourself in. But at the race track, it’s historically been best to take the pinch—the color green has long been a sign of bad luck in racing...

Here’s another green that’s quite bright.
The 1975 bright green. I think it’s OK.
There was a convertible for sale at the Daytona thanksgiving show last year with under 500 miles on it. Time warp condition. Reasonable money considering the mileage, possibly due to the colour.
This colour was chosen for Danbury mints 1:24 1975 corvette convertible. It’s a nice model, and a great improvement over Franklin mints 1975 yellow version from 30 years ago. I have both in my collection.
