Elite Veteran Posts: 854 | I was looking for suggestions on colors for one of my Mayfairs Convertibles ,It will have a Black and White Interior .The Original color of this car was yellow with the silver Sportone Inserts ,that is not a bad color just looking for suggestions .Being a Mayfair Convertible it was built at the Detroit Lynch road plant and should have had the 1958 Plymouth colors ,I was thinking of the Sunset Beige a 1958 Plymouth spring color ,Please let me know what you think Thanks .It could be two tone with no sportone trim . | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 625 Location: Lubbock, TX | You talking this shade of Yellow originally? If so, it's a really striking color and nowhere near as annoying as School Bus yellow. Would look fabulous with the Black/White interior! Edited by CaprockClassics 2017-02-25 6:33 PM (58plyyellow.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 58plyyellow.jpg (291KB - 142 downloads) | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 494 Location: Alberta | Here's a little different variation of a colour combo not that commonly used on the 58's the majority are red/white "Surprise" and of coarse the the Tan/beige [excellent choice] but over used.The Yellow/silver another eye pleaser. Heres my choice of colour selection just a bit different which will still give you the option of three color combo using a Hartz top [not cheap vinyl] dark tan (th.jpg) Attachments ---------------- th.jpg (9KB - 157 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 1384 Location: Ocala, Florida | My personal favorite '58 Plymouth color, arctic turquoise. Not enough of them out there wearing it. But coral or sunflower yellow would also be very striking!

Elite Veteran Posts: 854 | Randy ,If I didn't have my 57 Dodge Convertible being painted in Turquoise I would strongly consider the Arctic Turquoise it looks really sharp against the Silver trim and Black and white Interior. | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 494 Location: Alberta | I believe it is although it's obviously a repaint sometime in it's past. I have a motor for it now and intend to get it back to running mechanically this year. It definitely has potential. I have a few parts to round up just to start with and we all know how time slips away. I currently have a couple projects that have become priority now and that pushes this convertible back and life goes on. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 854 | I do know how time slips away and other projects take priority,I recently sold a few projects to concentrate on the Mayfair Convertibles ,I am also missing a few parts but plan to start the Bodywork on the first Mayfair in March .Good luck with your project nice to see another Mayfair Convertible,David. | ||
