Thanks for the black & white photo. Is the model B & W?
If so, that isn't the best color choice in my opinion. How about some typical mid 50s colors. Greens, blues, yellows, etc. Lots of choices shown here. Click on the wagon page.

If I recall a prior posting here, the b&w model is authentic to the 1:1 measured.
There were one or two additional color combos proposed. Of course, I might have read this on Facebook - I get confused sometimes.

Black & white was a popular fashion designers' color combo in the mid to late fifties often seen on cars circa 1955-1959. A white roof sprayed over a black sedan was not unusual for those wanting to get a conservative looking two tone car.
