This is a convertible Chevrolet for 1959 as done in a metallic blue in 1/43 by Vitesse. '59 Chevrolet's were ground-breaking cars (as all GM's) and can look attractive in nearly any form, even in seasick green over Pepto-Bismol pink in station wagon form !

I'm with Ed. The color names are perfect Mike.

I'm sensing some negativity here! Perhaps a dose of aesthetic perfection is appropriate?

I've not seen these '59 Chevy models in person. You make it look like a decent model. I am missing a convertible. I might have to look for one of these. I'd prefer the red one.

Thank you, John. The Pink & Green model is a very nice model, which makes it easy to get a good-looking picture.

The Vitesse also appeared as a Matchbox. I need to get off my butt and make a pace car version of mine (ah, but which one you may ask - not Indy!)

John, I'm not surprised you have "the entire line-up."  😏  I have a few of these after-market resin kits but not a "show room's worth!"  Nice!
