Expert 5K+ Posts: 5006 | Okay so I am liking the Yellow up top but its pretty jarring, Im down to four color schemes. I think i will go with a black interior if i go yellow.

Expert Posts: 1819 Location: Vancouver, BC | I would go for the yellow roof, yellow fins and yellow bottom. However, I would vote for the yellow as used on the 1957 Dodge (Sunshine Yellow - Ditzler 80850) and the 1957 DeSoto Firesweep (Sunburst Yellow - Ditzler 80850). The bigger DeSotos used Sunlit Yellow which has more yellow to the colour. The two yellow Dodge cars in the photos are closer to Yellow Cab yellow.

Elite Veteran Posts: 667 Location: Frederick, MD | How about a modern color? Have you seen the Jetset Blue on the new Renegades? Or the Velvet Blue from the Chrysler 200? Or, for yellow, the new Yellow Jacket color on the current Chargers. | ||

Expert Posts: 3966 Location: DFW, TX | Personally, I like the first one best. But I do prefer '50s cars in '50s pastel colors. I might tone down the yellow some, as Bill suggested. I didn't see any bad choices, so have fun picking one. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1102 Location: Hayward, Calif | The light blue and dark blue looks nice, but would consider all black too. A shiny black has an elegant look to it, but is hard to keep clean. Jerry | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | The most striking 57 Dodge I think I have ever seen was coral and white. There is a 56 DeSoto in Helena that is black with a coral spear and top. Quite an eye grabber. | ||
