The 8/96 issue of Scientific American notes that Mercedes-Benz now offers
multicolored paint: changes colors depending on source/direction of the
light. (pp. 34-35). The cost is DM$10K (about US$2500 in 1956; homework
to do the conversion rate now).
SciAm seems to think this is a great innovation. Yet readers of this Net
know that BMW as usual is one step ahead: to integrate BMWs with nature,
new models retain imprints of leaves and bird output ;-)
