I saw on Facebook yesterday that Sergio is indicating that the Goldvarg 1955 Pontiac Chieftan 2drht. is being done at some point. This is very good news for me as I love the '55; it is my fave Pontiac of that decade. Sergio was asking for color preferences on Facebook so I thought we Forum members might like to recommend our favorite choices. I assume there will be two color variations as per usual.
My color preferences are (1) Beaumont Blue Poly/Polo White tutone and (2) Bolero Red and Black
It's an unusual combination, but popular in the '50s - albeit, not on cars! I would certainly like to see this Pontiac in Castle Gray over Persian Maroon Poly.
Thanks so much for mentioning about the 1955 Pontiac development.
Really, this is a model that I was going to make in my white metal range in then 1990's, but when I moved to the United States, I donated all the factory to a government laboratory.
@mg-harv That's a 1956. I don't think those colors were available in 1955.
Yes those are 1956 colors and I SEEM to recall that Sergio is doing the Safari wagon in those colors??
Corsair Tan and Driftwood Beige are similar 1955 color options combined with white/off white though. IMHO the Driftwood Beige/white combo is really nice.

Here is the brass master.

The '55 Pontiac Chieftan HT is a really nice looking car Sergio and I think it will be a sales success. Will one of your two color choices have the continental kit deleted? I have to be honest and say that I am not a fan of this feature.
This is a really beautiful car and Pontiac and this makes a sensational 1/43 model. I like this car in any color and style and a Continental kit is fine, as I am sure several might be offered, so everybody can be happy. I have 5 of the 1/18 SunStar replicas so a gorgeous Goldvarg 1/43 would be a real treat !
Chris, my grandparents and after that, our family had a 1955 Pontiac for nearly 10 years. It was reliable and a wonderful car. The second Pontiac ad in your post shows one I think was pretty similar to our family Pontiac .... Beaumont Blue Poly over Marietta Blue 4 door.
