I just checked the Goldvarg Models site again and saw Sergio has added another model now in development.  It is the 1958 Ford Ranchero in what I believe is Gulfstream Blue and Colonial White.  I love this car and have been waiting for this civilian version to arrive.  I know that Sergio appreciates suggestions from our members and he always does two color choices for each model so here is mine for this car:  A 2-tone color scheme consisting of Desert Beige (roof and lower body) and Bali Bronze (main body).  I recall this combo back in the day and it was really striking....something a bit different.  I also saw it in Bali Bronze and Colonial White (roof and lower body), which was very nice too.

Yes John...thanks.  Your pic looks like Bali Bronze and Colonial White as, from my recollection, the Desert Beige was quite a noticeably different contrast.  The application I was most impressed with was Bali Bronze main body with the Desert Beige roof and lower.  IMO this would be a great choice as very many '58 Fords include white as one of the colors; which is fine but something different would be nice.  For example, I notice that Sergio is doing his upcoming '58 Ford sedan in yellow/graphite or 2-tone green, which look really nice IMO.

@jack-dodds, I like your idea, John. It's not typical but it would be elegant, a suitable combo for a gentleman rancher.

I agree John.  The Desert Beige color done had just a hint of coral in it; which contrasted very nicely with the Bali Bronze.
