I favor the Laurel Green myself, but a metallic blue would be nice too.

I recall seeing a few blue ones "back in the day".

OK. If that is Ermine White with a Beige interior I'll take one.

I once saw a '63 Nova in pink. That was pretty.

Now, there's some potential for two toning with that one!

John, I hope that you are stating that two-tone bit facetiouly .....

regarding a Pink car. What??? These were usually a single color and Sergio had two good colors on his prototypes. I really don't know why he is changing them. Well, his car, his choice.

I think the reason Sergio is asking for input on color is mainly because we collectors have asked for it in the past and have thanked him for doing so. Also there have been several of his upcoming models, the 62 Olds wagon in particular, where there has been significant input/critique regarding 2 rounds of colors offered and correctness of trim. These criticisms are IMO well founded and respectfully submitted and serve both Sergio and we collectors well. It is a healthy and interesting way for Sergio to be more successful in sales while we enthusiasts are heard. Regarding the Nova, there is nothing particularly unattractive at all about the green and tan offerings, but we each have our favorites to offer. I would love to see the Super Sport version done, so mentioned that for consideration. If there is an abundance of suggestion that the colors ought to change then they probably will; its just nice to be asked in this day and age. All good!
