With the nice body lines you could do black & silver
or blue and silver. If you don't like two tones,
then House of Kolor Krome Black is wild. Cobalt
Blue is wild also. My 65 was transparent Cobalt
blue over VooDoo green. The picture is ok but it
looked very crazy (cool)in person.

Looks to be a very cool ride what ever you decide!!!

How about silver and blue. Here's mine- 2003 Chrysler colors- Atlantic Blue Pearlcoat with Bright Silver roof. Light color roof keeps it cooler in the summer months- especially in Tejas...

I love all 3 of those colors. I've always wanted a black car, now I have one and boy is it hard to keep clean LOL. I wash it every friday or saturday for the weekend and by Sunday I at least have to wipe it lightly with a California car duster.

Some sort of black on the bottom, then a bit of blue under lining the main body line, then from the main body line up, a brilliant silver. The car will look lower to the ground with a darker color on the bottom.

Just my

whatever you do I'm sure it will look killer!

Chris, your right, it is hard to beat a black car. My dad's 1962 Fury is all black and it looks great.

Mopar Fever,

Here is kind of what I was thinking with the three colors you posted originally...



Try to use your imagination. I am playing with a new program, and I am a Draftsman, not a graphic designer.

Yeah, I like silver also but BigDad is a silver 64 Plymouth and he only live 30 minutes from me and my car will never look as good as his! As a matter of fact he took me on the road trip to get it. Thanks again BigDad.

Fun trip, no thanks needed ..

If it was mine , I'd go silver ..

2nd choice for me would be ..

White with faux ram charger style stripes in the factory Turq color in that year like the inside of the car originaly over roof and truck.etc


I'm not one for the two-tone stuff, they end up looking like 7 layer cake

I guess if you get carried away with the two tone stuff it can go bad fast. Most people think my car is a solid color.

The Ramcharger stuff would be wicked too!

I really like Silver and the color that Mosher used on one of the 64 Dodge's they did. Its a light brown maybe called Puter ?? But the silver and puter 64 Dodges they did look great. Check under finished car and then 64 Dodge. Ron
