Brooklin’s  ‘57 Chevy Bel Air is a four door hardtop. The initial standard version was an attractive Larkspur Blue with an India Ivory top. John Roberts did a run of models in other authentic factory colors.  Mine is one in Colonial Cream with an Onyx Black top.

Does anybody have the Sierra Gold/Adobe Beige model who could post a picture of it?

I thought Brooklin's choice of colors for this Chevy were perfect.  It is a gorgeous model...but your yellow/black version is equally attractive David... and factory correct!

This is the correct Sierra Gold and it looks like Brooklin corrected it. I placed my order with Amanda today. This was a great color scheme for ‘56-7.

@david-knight 

Do you know when Brooklin corrected the color? When you receive the model, let us know your opinion about the color.

I don't believe there was a color correction. Those pics are the original colors. By the pictures, some folks thought they were a bit too red. In hand, the colors look fine.

I'll have to order the Seminole Red one from Robert Budig; it will be a nice contrast to this one....

@ralf, if they have one, snatch it up! It was an LE of only 50.

@ralf I checked their website and didn't see any. But they do have the cop car.

Thanks John, for your assurance that the Sierra Gold is a good color match. I’ll post pictures as soon as it arrives.  Authentic factory colors are important to me and can be deal breakers. I will be delighted if indeed it is correct as that was a snazzy color scheme.
