Color Combination ???

[Robert S.]

I am 2 years into a frame off restoration on a 64 coupe, and need to make
decisions about the color combination. The car was Black, with Black & White vynal interior, power windows & brakes, automatic, low horsepower. I am ready to purchase, dash pads, seat covers, door panels, & carpet, just not sure if I will be happy with that B/W combo. When I was at Carlisle I saw a black coupe with silver interior, that one sure did look nice! Also saw a lot of black/black coupes. Where can I find pictures of the Black/White combo? What about the value of the car, if I go with silver leather? Any Advice will be helpful.
thanks robbie

Robbie,

If your going NCRS route you'll lose points on the color change, if you building the car you want then put in the color combo you like. I tell you though nothing nicer that black car with a B/W gut in fact the car you saw might have been the very one I know, was it a 65 BB parked near the Vetteheads tent?

Robbie,
I assume the trim tag indicates the Black and White combo, if so, what are your intentions for the car? Are you going to have it judged or use it as a driver without any intentions to have it judged?
Another point is that white seats in a convertible are are a heck of lot cooler than black. So on this combo ,are the seats black or white?
Once again, the first question you have to answer, are you ever going to have the car judged? Then make your decision when you have answered that question to your satisfaction.

Good Luck,
Rick
