DRG Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 Ok, I am over my slump and busy building a 1951 Chevrolet Belair. Dark Blue Interior. Metalic Blue Body. White Convertible Top.
Foxer Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 I rarely comment on color, but I really like that color on that '51!
Guest Johnny Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 I rarely comment on color, but I really like that color on that '51! A fella I worked for part time had one 1:1 just about that color sitting in front of his shop he was restoring for the Lions Club for their parade car! That should be a looker when done!
charlie8575 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Mine will be Thistle Gray with the gray and red interior and black top. The interior I noticed was all gray with leather accents in blue, red, black or green, and either tan or black tops. The interior and floor-mats should be matched to the leather bolsters. I was very surprised to see just how limited the colors were on Chevies in 1951. All interiors in closed cars were gray. The wagons came in tan only. The Bel-Airs came in gray cloth with red, blue or black leather. For myself, two-tone Thistle Gray and Burgundy on the Bel-Air is my choice. My fastback...haven't quite decided, but no closed model other than the wagon came in green, unless it was special-ordered or a dealer repaint. Perhaps that'll be Trophy Blue, because that is such a pretty color on those cars. This is a great little kit without huge amounts of work. Charlie Larkin
