Let's say you were putting an interior in the new JL '59 Impala Convertible (this is the yellow one). What color would you make it? How about the top boot?

I'll say that I'm strongly considering a red interior with a black boot, mainly because when Aurora did a Lemon Yellow car with an interior, it seems that's what they did. (If you have the Bob Beers book, check the '62 Vibe Galaxie convertible, the '63 Tjet Galaxie convertible, Fairlane and Falcon.) On the other hand, I have a 1958 Chevrolet brochure at home and it shows a '58 Impala convertible in a similar color... with a two-tone aqua and white interior. Kinda weird, but kinda cool too. Saddle or beige seems like it would go well, and black would work too, but I think in the 50's they tended toward brighter, more flamboyant two-tones, no?

Anybody else have any ideas? Or do you like the traditional Aurora red interior/black boot?

thanks in advance...

ps i know i said i was gonna step away from the dremel for a while... this is it i PROMISE... besides there's no more new material in this release to work with... :rolleyes:

I'd go with a two tone red and white interior and white boot, maybe with red piping.


besides there's no more new material in this release to work with...

Yeah, all that "new material" is sitting in a pile on your workbench.

Rick, I would love to help you make a choice but when it comes to colors, its all shades of gray to me... :D

I am glad to read that you are going to give your dremel a well deserved rest.

Thanks again for the detailed posts. They help alot. :thumbsup:

Waiting to see what goes under the bit next.
