Always like SOU's green with gold trim - classy.
Tangential note:
Heard someone describe their diesels as "diesel in a tuxedo".
The classy paint jobs, and hopefully, good maintenance, send a subtle message to customers - "we care about our business; and we care what you think of our business, therefore we keep things up nicely for you. Thanks for doing business with us." Don't have to keep 'telling' your customers you appreciate their business, you use actions which speak louder than words.
Yes, I know that didn't always happen, even on the Southern. But it sure looks like they tried at least at sometimes.
And they were pretty good at making money.
