I liked this color much better than the original blue done by DM.

Boy, there's a color I never saw on a '57 back in the day. I suspect the owner was from Florida. They love their pastels.

Interesting Rich....in my neck of the woods the three most prevalent colors seen on the '57 Chevy were Surf Green, Highland green and tropical Turquoise. I had one in Highland Green fifty-odd years ago.

@jack-dodds Yeah, I'm always amazed how regional color choices were, or are. Now, like in NYC almost all working women wear block. If you see a pretty woman dressed in bright colors in the daytime, she's probably in the middle of a photo shoot. These days, in the Metropolitan area, it's rare to see a car that's not some shade of black, silver or white. My two cars? both slightly different shades of silver/gray.

You are right, even here the Detroit-Metro area, black, gray/silver and white are the predominate color choices. I love to see color, which is why my Explorer is green and my wife's Edge is bright blue. I am bucking the trend, LOL!
