1962 Chevrolet Impala colors
Dear friends, I hope that everyone is safe. I am doing the color choice for the 1962 Chevrolet Impala from Goldvarg Collection.
Which are your two best choices?

Laurel Green Poly and Nassau Blue Poly.

Those two aren't bad, but how about Satin Silver Poly?
Also, save Roman Red for the day you release this as a convertible.

This roofline was made to fool us into thinking it was a convertible
And there was a vinyl roof covering option that simulated the canvass top on those converts. My choice here would be a Roman Red with a white top. And next a Nassau Blue with a black top. Or maybe blue if the factory did that. Also clean the car body from the extra mirror on the right side and the bumperettes on the back and certainly the extra antenna roots on the rear fenders. Keep these cars as clean as they really were in their day. These cars were stunning. And don't forget Goldvargs are now a new standard the others must attain. Don't load up the bodies with trinkets. You don't need that.

Sergio, it looks good, except the tires, hub caps, lights, grill, fenders, quarter panels, hood.....
Does that sound familiar?
actually it looks great so far....was black paint an option with red interior?

I think one color should be white with red interior as I remember a neighbor and seeing some others around town with this combination. I always liked it on this car. Other than that, Honduras Maroon Poly for the other color. Please refrain from two tones on this car. I also agree with Don on keeping the oputside mirror off the passengers side, eliminating the bumper overiders and ditching the antennas.

The silver with red interior is a killer combo!

+1.

Roman Red and Twilight Turquoise

I would go with these two.

+1. A darker color will contrast well with the Impala's silver treatmeat at the rear of the trunk.
