A classic Dale Earnhardt paint scheme is the inspiration for Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s newest look.

On Monday, we got our first peek at the No. 88 TaxSlayer.com Chevrolet SS that Junior will run in one yet-to-be-determined NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in 2016. Take a look.

So which one of his late father's paint schemes was the inspiration?

For comparison, here's the No. 3 Wrangler car that Earnhardt drove in 1987. 

TaxSlayer.com will also serve as primary sponsor on the JR Motorsports No. 7 Chevrolet Camaro and No. 88 Chevrolet Camaro for 10 XFINITY Series races in 2016.
