A few more favorite color combos from my collection. Am still hoping to see a few more of yours too.
Previously seen but from a different builder, a coach built Caddie
A stunning 1949 Delehaye 175S by Chromes
American iron in the 1950's created an unmatched decade of relatively affordable automobiles. Model by Brooklin
I learned to drive with an elegant black 1953 Buick Roadmaster but this one's grin will will have to do. Model by Brooklin
This color combo has grabbed m heart ever since a high school friend purchased a new Mini Cooper in 1963 in red w/ a black roof. I had a plain grey Austin Mini with all of 37 HP, which I loved at the time, and still did, but that red/blk shure looked good. Here is 1954 plain Jane Desoto Firedrome Sportsman which sure looks good too,in that red/blk combo. Model by Brooklin
Another 1954 that looks awfully good to me is this Mercury Monterey wagon Finally there is this beautiful 1960 Chevy Impala also by Brooklin

There is no one model in my collection that is an outstanding color combination but a few several IMHO. Here are just three of them.
All look really great and that color scheme on the Pegaso is terrific ! Compared to the sometimes boring colors of many automobiles/minivans today, the bright colors, especially during the Fifties and Sixties were wonderful.
Curtis, thanks for sharing your colors with us, especially enjoyed the Blk/Yel Ford.
Tony, that Caddie is stunning.
the bright colors, especially during the Fifties and Sixties were wonderful.
I quite agree Michael.

@keko-romero Hispano-Suiza is one of my favorites, as well, and I do like the combo on the '34 VanVooren Cabriolet, though mine has the top up:
What a great bunch of models; wagons, sedans, sports and race cars...thought I'd add a special built truck.

@david-vandermeer I think I remember the 1:1 being refurbed by Dave Kindig, Kindig It Design, in Salt Lake City.
As we are talking color, here, has anyone ever encountered a Ruxton in 1:43 scale?
@gdh I need a Ruxton... maybe Esval, Matrix or Autocult are manufacturers susceptible to make it...
