    With the theme your considering I'd do it Black on Black with blackwalls on black steelies. BUT.......My grandpa bought an identical 56 Vicky brand new off the showroom floor in 1956. It was Mint green with a white/ivory uppper section. 312/3spd od. If it was mine, that would be the only other color option I would consider other than all black.

    I dig it...but the whole top should be black and the bottom cream...it's different and that's just my $.02!

    See how much tougher the gray one looks compared to the red/orange and white? I'm telling you, these cars really benefit from being all one color if you want it to look mean or tough.

    The first car I drove was a 56 Ford. Light blue and white. I loved the color scheme. I think these cars look good in 2 tone pastel colors. Makes them look clean. I would go with a light blue or turquoise or yellow or orange with white but reverse the colors from factory and put the white on bottom and top with the color in the middle. There is an orange/creme convertible in town here that looks awesome.
     
  17. Turquoise and off white stock colors...
