Neighbors ‘55 Chevy

[Saltie Olds]

One of my neighbors had a 55 Chevy, I’m guessing back in the ‘60s. This color is as close to the actual blue that I was going for, in the slide picture. The actual color of the car looked blue at night and daylight, but if the sun hit the car just right, it looked green. When he had the car painted blue, it ended up being a Heinz 57 blue color. So here’s a picture of the slide, of the car, the kit I used, and the end result of the build.

Very nice, I love seeing models of cars folks drove years ago. You did a great job of replicating the car in the photo.   -Rich

Great looking paint color and finish. I like the period side trim treatment.
