They look like something cut & pasted from cardboard.

That's for sure. Like the cut-outs we used to get on cereal boxes. Insert tab "A" into slot "B".

 

Haven't seen the matte gray one in about a month. Maybe went to college?

Two years ago, I saw a couple early Bugatti Indy racers on loan from the I.M.S, M. collection. Both were outstanding cars, but they weren't French Blue.  :D

 

The Tesla needs color to disguise its shapelessness.

I wonder if the guy was trying to pawn the thing at that pawn shop next door?

When it comes to Bugatti Alysian Blue, you can pretty much take your pick on shade. This T-37 is documented original paint, but good luck trying to find a spot where the paint isn't showing age or filth;

It can be as light as this;                                                                             Or dark as this;
