Looks like Jewel Blue Poly on my screen.

Agreed, plus I think the Catalina will be offered in an extremely similar shade of blue
I remember Sergio saying he wants to keep the color mix varied, so the colors for these bubbletops might not be final at this point. However on the Goldvarg website both this blue, plus what looks like Twilight Turquoise, are both listed as Pre-order. The Turquoise would then be my choice.
This subject looks great in anything but green over pink.
Two things I see. First is the color and my favorite will almost always be the lighter shade in this little scale. Good detail shows up in a lighter color. So I pick the turquoise. Second is the wheels. Remember GM usually didn't hide the color of the wheel rim with their full wheel covers in these years. A little of the body color shows around the wheel cover as you will see on the photos listed just a bit earlier. Sorrry to be a nit-picker but I only want what is best for you. Don't we all?
I'm with you on the green over pink!
It's like a fine wine, it's flavor and aroma are an acquired taste.

Every pic Ive seen of a '61 Chevy, including in brochures, has body-color wheels, However, every pic of a '61 Pontiac shows black wheels. Odd
