My 733 Sedan and 1104 Coupe Roadster. The sedan is original paint, 'Packard Blue' and black. The roadster is Sylvan green or close to it.

The darker the better, in my opinion. I love the colors of both of Tom's cars. Keep the contrast to a minimum. Dark body, even darker fenders.

Oh, and IF you're going to put white sidewalls on, you absolutely have to paint the wheels a dark color. It looks very corny, whimpy, spindly, with light wheels and white tires.

Light colors can be nice too.

Say gents thanks for keeping this alive. It is great to see all the different combos. I really like the blue and green combos but my wife likes the maroons so I will have to show her these pictures to try to sway her.
