Color ideas for the wagon
The wagon has been running reliably for a few months now (knock on wood) I think it is time to start thinking about the cosmetics. It is white now with a blue interior, mostly blue any way, it has Red buckets out of a 65 Valiant convertible that were to good a deal to pass up. Also the inside rear upper door frames are red. The wheels are light blue (same as interior) steelies with Dart Dog dish covers (well 2 so far) I really do not like white, the wife's minivan is white. I am not worried about correct restoration, it already has a Hurst 4 speed and buckets for crying out loud. I do like the hi impact colors though. I always wanted a Top Bannana colored car since my best friend in high school had a 73 Ralleye 340 Challenger back in the early 80s. I also like SubLime and Hemi Orange a lot. I think a wagon could look really cool in one of those colors, maybe even some flat black stipes of some sort on there too. The problem is the interior. I don't think any of these colors will go with either blue or red interior. What will work? If I have to go blue I like the darker options like Dark Blue Poly or Dark Turquoise poly, or maybe B5 Blue. No matter what I will need to change some of the interior so it will all match (unless I go with a bicentennial/Eveil Kenivel theme) So I might have to make it all black to give me more options. What do you guys think? Also I kind of like the idea of 2 tone, then I might keep some white on the car.
