Actually Mike, I thought of just the opposite... Red replacing white and black replacing turquoise. I will make a photoshop version eventually :)

Ooo, that'll look mighty sharp Ben, that's why you're our resident Artiste and we're but mere rank amateurs.

What about the Black/Red/Beige tri-tone option that was available on the 55 Buicks.Name:  photo-2.jpg

I think that car is sweet as well... But with all due respect CA Blue HHR, I never was a fan of the trip color paint scheme. Can you believe that me, of all people, thinks it makes the cars too busy... LOL

Well, I would like to see a photoshop version on your car. Maybe it will get you to change your mind!!

When the world was a bit younger my dad had a Pontiac that looked a little like this

Bing Images

Back then it looked a lot better than the one in this picture.

It was painted in a two tone with a reddish brown that pretty much everyone called root beer and a creamy white.

I spent countless days cleaning and waxing the car for spending money.

Uh oh, Ben, group withdrawal symptoms are starting, not good.

The torches and pitchforks are going to be next.

I am flattered by the interest in my little project and apologize for not having any updates lately. I am still working full-time and going to school for my Master's degree. I will try to post an update this week before the lynching commences! :)
