Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | Need some feedback on the 2 tone colors (RED and BLACK) for my 59 dodge custom royal 4drht. what are your preferences in these colors with red and black interior ? or just a Beautiful solid black . not looking into all red at all.

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9667 Location: So. Cal | Two tones are what really sets these '50's cars off IMO. So many nice looking colors to choose from in '59. If going with red/black, I would choose Coral over Poppy. Ruby could look good too, but makes it too dark IMO. I think red with black roof & bottom is much better than the other way around. If you don't mind mixing it up a little, Pink & Black would look really nice. They had two shades of pink, Rose & Biscuit. You can also reduce the black shade to a Pewter instead.

Location: Parts Unknown | I vote red main body with black roof, fin, and lower. 59 Dodges are already over-the-top. Add on all the CRL trim and it is just plain excessive. Toning it down a little only makes it look better. The black as an accent does a good job of this, giving the car a more "formal" balance to the overall design. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | it's a hard toss up for sure . but the coral is out . I do think the red body with black accents is more attractive , but is it too much with the red black interior ? seats are re-upohlstered already ! maybe not . | ||

Regular Posts: 78 | I also vote red main body with black roof, fin, and lower. It makes the car look more distinguished / stand out more. Imagine you are on stating on a street watching cars go by in the late 50s / early 60s. The above combo just catches your eye more than the reverse. | ||

If you are worried about it being too much, you could go with a standard two-tone or special two-tone instead of the deluxe. If either of those options were in consideration, I'd probably go with a black main body / roof. | ||

Expert Posts: 3967 Location: DFW, TX | Another option could be contrasting the red with a silver or gray. In my opinion, I think the subtle contrast is more pleasing than the high contrast black (or white) that is typically seen.
