WMCE 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer HT
I wondered which other colors than Glacier White and Ice Blue would be attractive also on the 57 Dodge HT? Some ideas?

A favorite site to look at car pictures with a lot of variety is oldcarandtruckpictures.com I saw this Dodge in solid black there, and, with all its chrome, it was very impressive.
Be prepared to spend some time!

(Pic) WES 1957 Dodge in Solid Black
Indeed we can look easily more than one hour this site. I had not looked for a long time.
I think, that all the Western Models 1957 Dodge have been done in two tones colors(roof and fins are the same colors and the body is a different color)or in single color. The WMCE Dodge will have a deluxe two-tones like the picture shown on the Buz's website. I'd like Velvet Blue and Ice Blue.
Merci David.

Any pastel with white or black.

The '57 Dodge HT was popular and quite good looking in white/gold/white with white tail fins.

PIC- Thank you, Joe and Frank. I like the colors on the Dodge in the book
Cars of the Fabulous 50s. Is it Ice Blue and Velvet Blue as on this illustration?

That looks very good

(PICS) Frank, Michel, I just have to "chime in." My favorite 1957 Dodge color is that "cover.......
.....shot" two-tone blue. My second favorite is the color combo on my own 1957 Dodge...white & gold.
Yes, this particular car is of course a "four door" which I normally stay(run..LOL!) away from but a few years back...I just had to have it.
Normally I hang out on the 1/18 forum.......thanks for letting me butt in.

A real beauty. Gold and white looked good regardless of which color was the "sandwich".
