Well, I've been running out of space and have been trying to scale back what I 've been collecting lately, so I've decided to try and mainly stick to black castings.

I think I made the decision because, in my opinion, most castings will always look good in black. I have to admit its not working that well and I still am picking up some other coloured castings if I can't wait for a black version, but it has helped me slow down.

That said my display case is now 0ver 90% black and is looking pretty sharp. Here are some of my favorite General Motors Classics from the 1950's that snuck out of the case for a photo op...

1953 Buick Super:

1955 Chevrolet Belair:

1957 Chevrolet Belair:

1958 Chevrolet Impala:

1959 Chevrolet Impala:

1959 Cdillac Eldorado:

Cheers,

Black is always a winner in my book. Those are great pics!

I agree. All cars look better in black.

Very nice! I like them all, but there's just something about that buick. Nice job on the pics, thanks.

I like them all, but there's just something about that buick.

...that was one of the first cars I picked up when I started collecting a few years ago and it is still a favorite.

The black '53 Buick from The Fabulous Motorama series is the best version of that casting, IMO.
All of those look great in black! :thumbsup:
But for the '59 Impala vert, I am partial to the powder blue version from Auction Insanity.

Great pics there! I agree, black looks good on any car, any year!

Great idea collecting only one color. :thumbsup: My buddy is hooked on the color purple. I like a variety of colors, so I can't pick just one color.

Nice pics! :thumbsup:

..nice pics G-man .. :thumbsup: ..I think I would find it hard to collect only one color......I have a few black cars that I aways found incredible because they were done in black.....good choice.. :thumbsup: was just listening to some oldies tunes...and Gino Vanelli singing "Black cars look better in the shade.."!!!

Hey Dr.Olds the "quote" was actually " You can have any color car you want as long as it's black" Henery Ford. I also like the "Black castings" They just seem to reach out & grab your attention. ZF.
