I can’t seem to resist painting the tops of some of my 1950’s Chevys white. In the case of the black DM ‘57 and blue DM ‘58, I think they look better with a white roof than they do all one color. Especially the ‘58.

I did the FM ‘56 as an experiment. It’s okay, but I think I like the original black roof better.

I may sell the ‘56 and ‘57.

Two neighbors had '58 Impalas in the '60's; one was silver blue and the other pink, both with white roofs.  I love the look of your '58.  I think I'll do the same to mine.

The 58 is outstanding, the 57 is okay but the 56 is questionable.

@bob-jackman I agree with that assessment.

I think the '58 looks fantastic, the '57 looks very presentable, and I agree with you on the '56. I painted the top of my red DM '57 Nomad white. I think it looks way better. JMHO though. 😁
