1966 Mercury Cyclone colors
Dear all, I am working in the 1966 Mercury Cyclone and have chosen already the red with white interior.
Now I need the second color option. Any suggestions?
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Looks great in the top picture combo, white also looks good.
The Cyclone also looked good in that pale "Jamaican Yellow", with white bucket seats/black carpet and dash. The only other choices with yellow are "parchment" seats with black carpet and dash, or all black. Yellows were a big deal in the late 60s.
The white exterior choices for bucket seats were the same but also included red and blue.
Two tone combos were also listed in the '66 brochure I found, most were with white or black roof. No vinyl roof option as far as I could tell.
Anything other than red.
Olive Mist Poly.
Jamaican Yellow
Saw so many Fords of that era painted that color back in the day.
.
Sea foam green sure is pretty.

Jamaican Yellow gets my vote.
Jamaican Yellow gets my vote.
Visualizing it next to its red counterpart & gold & turquoise big bros., dark green or blue would be my selection with a nod to that Jamaica Yellow as well.
the first pic it s perfect

I like the first one. While in high school my younger brother had a White with black top sedan
Jamaican yellow looked great on this car! Black interior.
