Here's my top three:

1) Sea Haze Green with Killarney Green top.

2) Camero Coral with Black top.

3) Dovetone Gray with Cadet Blue Poly top.

Ford 54 1
Ford 54 3
Ford 54 2

My suggestion is Killarney Green with a White top. The two greens would complement each other and the white top would make it pop! Here's the best pic I could find.

I like the Goldenrod as well.

All the Ford 1954 colors are excellent, so you can't go wrong with any of them ! Perhaps one of their eye-catching vibrant colors for one car, and also with two additional automobiles featuring more subdued, traditional colors first. Then, a trip through Ford's '54 color chart for following on 1/43 cars.

I also agree with Chris's choices. Especially #3 Dovetone Gray with Blue Poly top, a very popular color in 1954.I remember a lot of light shades for the main body and a darker tone for the roof.

I like the Cadet Blue body with white roof as seen on yesterday's Bono comparison...best by far.  My second is Killarney green with white roof; third is a tie: coral with either black or white roof.....or Dovetone Gray with Cadet Blue or black roof would be very nice too.  We've seen a lot of coral used lately in 1:43......

All the colors would be fine except corral or pink.

I cast my vote for Cadet Blue Poly. Like Jack I believe after purchasing the 55 Lincoln Capri from GLM in Coral, I’d like a different color although the Coral does look good.
