Early dibs on Goldvarg 58 Country Squire colour.
There are 1958 Country Squires available in the old standby white red, black, white, blue, green, and I believe yellow. Therefor I would like to see a prototyppe done in the unique colour of in "Bali Bronze". I think this would be complimentary to the shades of woodtones. Similarly with the 1966 Cyclone. It has been available in red and light yellow. In 1966 while working my way through university by selling cars at the local Lincoln-Mercury dealership. Being a small town, we sold only two Cyclones. One was Burgundy, and the other was Inverness Green. Both had black interior and vinyl roofs. The former had white stripe tires, and the latter red stripe. If you picture these you would appreciate why I thought they were spectacular, and would suggest one (or both) for the forthcoming model.

Bali Bronze would look great on the '58 Ford Country Squire.
I also recall the burgundy and green Comet Cyclone colors you mention and agree that they looked very nice indeed on that car. The burgundy was in fact one of my suggested colors rather than the usual red.

Another vote for Bali Bronze for the '58 Country Squire. Would look great with the "wood" and different as there is just about nothing made in tan or a shade of brown in woodies from any of the manufactures.

My Western '42 Hudson woody is in Hickory Tan. But then, it dates back to 2010.

I could go for Bali Bronze or Palomino Tan.

My 2nd color choice is Sun Gold; which looks pastel yellow.
