Good looking molding, which kit? As a teenager a neighbor had a new one, yellow lower, white top. Looked great, he gave me a ride after washing it so it would rid the excess water, I helped him dry it off. From then on if he was going to wash it, there I was, towel in hand.

I saw some back then that were turqoise (sp?) lower, white top, looked really nice. Solid black was a beaut too.

The mid to late 50s was a time of pastel colors and two tones, e.g. your green and white. There was also a tan, light blue (turquoise), pink, yellow,as well as two tones with black, e.g. black and red, black and yellow and black and white. Yours is very representative of the time. As a side note I leatrned to drive in a 58 Ford Hardtop convertable (sunliner?) and my first car was a 54 Ford 4 door with a straight six and a 3 speed on the column. It was more or less the color green you are using with a lot of rust color accent (real rust). The 56 Crown Vic with the 1/2 glass roof (tinted green) was the cats behind.

Looks great. Nice choice of colors. Can I ask why you used the camoflauge as a primer?

That is already gorgeous, crown. I've never had such luck with BMF on cars. You really do some beautiful work.

I don't normally look at cars, but when I do...

I grew up looking at cars like that.  Very "Ozzie and Harriet".  Well done!

Oh, yeah...

Great job on the Bare-Metal Foil! I recently finished a model of a mid-'60s vintage Rolls Royce and my foil didn't come out anywhere near as nice!

Nice !!! Very clean.  What color did you use for the interior floor board carpet?  I know the seats and dash matched the exterior colors but the carpet would'nt be white or green would it?
