@ed-davis Aaaaaargh!  I was not waiting.  Pepto Bismol Pink and Bile Green are made to neutralize, not damage one's corneas.

What a wonderful thread Richard. You are so right, a single choice is tough, and rough to make.  Like Jack Dodds, I too have too many to choose from so I broke these colorful racing cars down into types and eras.

This significant Land Speed Record holder is not so colorful but it is distinctive.

1948 Deidt chassis, Blue Crown Sprk Plug Spl #3, Mauri Rose, Indy Winner qualified 3ed at 129.129 MPH & won at a 119.482 MPH average                      

IMG 6503

 

1965 Lotus 38, Jim Clark - 1st rear engined Indy Winner, qualified 2nd @160.729 MPH and won @ a 150.686 MPH average.  1960 Jim Rathmann/Ken Paul Special-Watson Roadster #4, Indy Winner @ 138.767 MPH avg. qualified 2nd @ 146.371 MPH.

The Watson roadster pic was included because they were the Apex Indy cars in the early 60's. Big strong brutes driven by Big strong hero drivers like AJ Foyt who won in 1964 as I cheered him on. Then in '65 it all changed when the "sissy" & dainty rear engined cars were dominant and the rear drive roadsters instantly became dinosaurs, much to my chagrin.  😢    Though once I paid attention to the engineering, I better understood and learned a valuable lesson concerning the success of the Lotus and it's design.

SCCA F5000 and F1 look the similar but are not, the Shadow had a 5.0 L V8 while the Benneton had a 3.5 L Ford V8. Many other differences too.

Needed a colorful sports car, this WSC TWR-Joest Porsche is the 1996 LeMans winner which traveled 2,991.5 miles at a 124.65mph average.

@stewil Separating them by types and eras was an excellent idea. Nice models and pictures.

I don't think I can answer this question with all the cars I love, but maybe the most interesting perhaps?

Brooklin - This thread is really appealing and was hoping to see more favorite color combos, but no one has posted in over a month so here is one I love (of many).

Early era, with color in a time of a few dull choices, flared fenders, running boards, and a real trunk.

I quite agree Ed, both as to numbers in the collection and your choice of a late 1950's land yacht is "most interesting". Those were the days my friends, with all those "full size cars".

Richard's original request (nicest color combo) was stunning and methinks will add a few more older stunners to it.

 

A Durham model - 1934 with fat fenders that left the early decades behind, with a show stopping color combo.

A 1935 French curver in stunning yellow

This originally black Brooklin was turned into a happy yellow

The epitome of the Tear drop design is this Spark Delehaye

and this one by MA Models

A lovely Bug in blue is sure to turn heads.
