[Shotimes] opal frost

[Carl Prochilo]

What's amazing about that too is, knowing that the late 91s had that color
(Charlie Newton's car looked very nice at the Atlanta convention), and
that by spring of 92 emerald green was the color of choice for showroom
SHOs in the dealership, the brochure for the Taurus did NOT list that
color for any car in the Taurus line.  Now, does anyone remember the late
Taurus SE that was sold at the end of the Gen 2 run?  That was offered in
Emerald green, right?  So finally to get back to Opal Frost, this color is
rare in the SHO due to only being sold for 1 year, but were other Taurus
cars like the LX sold in this color?
