I noticed on airliners.net there's pictures of the 'first' Pan Am livery on their 747's. I notice a smaller font, the tiny print Clipper name, and the solid blue cheatline that extends to the nose. I also like the freshly polished belly.

I'm guessing sometime in the mid 70's Pan Am changed the livery to a larger font and the signiture style Clipper names, and with few excpetions, ended the cheatline before the nose cone. Looks like they also gave up polishing the belly too.

My question is, why the change? Why did they not polish the bare metal underside of the aircraft like many other airlines did?
