Weellll... you didn't technically say it was for or directed at Rhodes... knowing that now...

Mea culpa. Apologies.

As for the T-bird, that was an off the cuff, answer... as it has been some time, & for a wild haired guesstimate, was not too bad of 1. I admit, a bit... wide of a net, on the years... I knew it was somewhere in that year range. Just not for definite on the exact year/s.

I know that Rhodes' reference, "pink", was to "Operation Petticat, where a sub getting away from the... Philippines, iirc, with a load of nurses on board, repaired it enough to get away &... at a stop along the way, the only paint on hand to repaint it with, was red defouling paint, iirc & white or a light grey, which when that was mixed together to paint the sub... ended up with it being a pink color.
