Mrs. Avi,

According to the Shelby American Registry the fender stripes on the original 289 FIA cars were to help the crews tell the difference between the cars when they were on the track. The FIA's were painted Viking Blue (amost silver colored) with the following fender stripe colors:

CSX2259 white
CSX2260 yellow
CSX2301 maroon
CSX2323 orange
CSX2345 white

Hope that helps.

Greg
