This is worth seeing, it´s at the least curious, i think it´s a clever colour choice, and certainly outstanding. Anyone inspired?

I have a sudden craving for caramel slice.

Never say die. At least not while you're still breathing.

Not a fan of two tone seven's but this comes off better than most.

OK, I guess it is the graphic artist in me. This is not colour coordinated. Black and silver car with gold wheels and a tan and black interior.

Better silver wheels with black interior and gray inserts, or gray carpet with black panels and seats. Just because you have 3000 colors doesn't mean you have to use them all on one car!

I think this is the best two tone car I have seen!

But that is my opinion and with $2.50 more you can buy a cup of coffee!

I have to agree with jclay. I saw the ebay car earlier tonight, thought it was ugly and could not imagine a good looking 2 tone 7...until I saw the picture jclay posted. Now that's a great looking car...and I'm no fan of 2 tone paint jobs.

Two tone paint jobs aren't really my thing but I think it's better when the lighter colour's on top. The proportions are more balanced that way IMHO.

Two tone worked on cars of the 20s, particularly Yanky ones, with
black fenders, & another body colour. Late 20 Chevs Dodges etc
looked great that way, as did some 30s MGs & similar.

Looked OK on Healeys, & looked good on that early T Bird.

I rather have my wedge in solid colour.
