Need some feedback on  the 2 tone colors (RED and BLACK)   for my 59 dodge  custom royal 4drht.  what are your preferences in these colors with red and black interior ?   or just a Beautiful solid black .  not looking into all red at all.

Location: So. Cal		Two tones are what really sets these '50's cars off IMO. So many nice looking colors to choose from in '59. If going with red/black, I would choose Coral over Poppy. Ruby could look good too, but makes it too dark IMO. I think red with black roof & bottom is much better than the other way around. If you don't mind mixing it up a little, Pink & Black would look really nice. They had two shades of pink, Rose & Biscuit. You can also reduce the black shade to a Pewter instead.

the oem seats and door panels are already finished in red /black with cloth inserts .... so  exterior colors will have to work around that .

5000500050005000200050025
Location: Parts Unknown		I vote red main body with black roof, fin, and lower.

59 Dodges are already over-the-top. Add on all the CRL trim and
it is just plain excessive. Toning it down a little only makes it look
better. The black as an accent does a good job of this, giving the
car a more "formal" balance to the overall design.

Are you set on Ruby or would you consider Coral?  I like the black roof scheme too.

I also vote red main body with black roof, fin, and lower.

It makes the car look more distinguished / stand out more.

Imagine you are on stating on a street watching cars go by in the late 50s / early 60s.

The above combo just catches your eye more than the reverse.

If you are worried about it being too much, you could go with a standard two-tone or special two-tone instead of the deluxe.  If either of those options were in consideration, I'd probably go with a black main body / roof.

Location: DFW, TX		Another option could be contrasting the red with a silver or gray. In my opinion, I think the subtle contrast is more pleasing than the high contrast black (or white) that is typically seen.
