One of my favorite Brooklins is the 1958 Chevrolet Wagon finished in Anniversary Gold and Honey Beige by John White. It is very authentic in color photos yet in black and white it also looks very real as in photos of cars in black and white back in the ‘50’s.

One more comparison. . .
While whitewalls seem appropriate even on the two tone entry level wagon, black tires seem to be more appropriate on the single color Silver Blue. Maybe for me it’s because the Silver Blue with black tires is an exact replica of our family wagon. After all my dad was a conservative New Englander when it came to his cars.

They look great in black & white; this is a wonderful model no matter how it's shown.
