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.

@chris I'll go along with Chris' picks.
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......
Thanks very much for doing this model Sergio....much appreciated. It will be a winner!
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.

OK, you folks have convinced me. I like the blue as well...but I still like the green too!
