    I just bought this model a and was looking for color ideas. I am drawing a blank because I do not want black,red, or dark blue.. It used to be a drag car back in the 60's I am told from Arkansas. The guy is sending me some old pictures of it from back then as well. ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1402361013.355513.jpg ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1402361066.321303.jpg

    Honduras Marroon or Seafoam Green would be vintage looking colors and look good.

    I do like maroon. I actually still have a gallon of the maroon used on the 51 ford sedans. any color i do though will for sure be from the traditional paint chip book.
