The scope and breath of your work continues to just amaze me.  I fabricate & modify "stuff"  all the time but I'm lazy (and move on to other interests ) but you, John, are a highly self-motivated, intensely focused human modification "machine!"    I have never known any collector/modeler who churns out projects as fast as you.  😬 😧 😲

Thanks,  Next up when received from overseas, is a 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Presidential open limo.  Then if I can get a 3D printed clone of a 1954 Plymouth station wagon it will become a Plymouth Belevedere hardtop and the remainder a 1954 Dodge two door wagon.  Stay tuned.

The color of the station wagon is superb; what green reference did you use?

Stay tuned.

I always am. "You"  are one of my favorite shows.  LoL  As I've said before, you do what I once set out to do/collect. That is, I wanted every US make/model/body style from 1950-1961.

You're doing it!

@chris Chris, I couldn't agree more. The number of models John turns out is incredible.

A Google search for 1963 Buick colors turns up multiple images of color charts.  I use these frequently to get approximate period colors.

Hey John, great job! What model manufacture car did you use as your base model. Also, I use the oem colors and use AutoColor library as my reference source. Glad to see you seek correct colors.

Regards

The ACL is a solid go-to for OEM colors. Here's another resource that sometimes shows additional available colors.
