This prescriptive rule though has pitfalls, as this information points out:
The "ugly red wooden box" sounds correct, but the "wooden red ugly box" sounds wrong. There is a "rule" describing the order English adjectives are used in:
1.Opinion or judgment -- beautiful, ugly, easy, fast, interesting
2.Size -- small, tall, short, big
3.Age -- young, old, new, historic, ancient
4.Shape -- round, square, rectangular
5.Color -- red, black, green, purple
6.Nationality -- French, Asian, American, Canadian, Japanese
7.Material -- wooden, metallic, plastic, glass, paper
8.Purpose or Qualifier -- foldout sofa, fishing boat, racing car
So: the "beautiful long old curved red Italian steel racing car"
