Was 'Fiesta Red' an actual auto finish name, that was also used by Fender?

( as they actually used Dupont or similar auto finishes, right?)
Yes, it was a shade that was originally only available on Thunderbirds.

Supposedly, it was named after one of the colors of Fiesta dishes—brightly colored dishes from the era.

It was a Ford color from the 1950’s

Most of my amps are small. I like 'em that way.

Fender Super Champ X2
VHT Special 6 combo
VHT Special 6 Ultra head
Harmony 8418
Roland Microcube x2 (one came along with a guitar)
Vox Pathfinder 15r
Hotone Mojo Diamond
Hotone British Invasion
Tech 21 Trademark 10
Behringer Firebird GX108
Jay Turser Classic 10
Fender Frontman 15g (rehoused as head and 1x10 cab)
Fender Champion 20
Fender Mustang 1

That's too many. Time to sell some.

Speaking of automotive badges, I have a badge from a Corvair Spyder that'll get attached to an amp or speaker cab someday.

I am guessing you will keep the Special 6 Ultra and let the Special 6 go?

If not I would help you unload that Special 6 Ultra head. :)

Blackstar 1 watt combo and a Blackheart Killer Ant head. I try not to “collect” equipment, but I’d love to have a collection of amps 3 watt or less.

Vht Ultra 6 head, Airline / Valco amp in case, Custom Kraft 900 and a Pro Junior. Used to have a Vibro Champ. I wish I still had my Silvertone 1472. Been playing the Ultra 6 lately through a old 1x12 cab with a Texas Heat. Sounds good with a Tele or Strat

It is criminal at my age (64) that with all my cool little amps, and my love of Classic Rock/ blues rock, that I DON'T own a Pignose!
A few guitar buddies in '70's had them...

( no 'gear $$' right now, but I will catch up, eventually- need a baby Marshall too)

Here’s my contribution to this thread: it’s an octal preamp/6V6 power tube based Gibson Skylark clone that was built by a seller on Reverb. The custom cab is loaded with a WGS G8A Alnico speaker. I had the custom cabs made by an Etsy merchant and, in a nod to @Peegoo, I found the Buick Skylark badge on evilBay. It’s quite the snarky little beast!
