Black is Beautiful!
Especially if that was the original color.
It's gonna be great!

I think the 60-61s with the big hoods need a dark color. Almost black/purple would be nice.

I say Eggplant grin

I think you should paint it dark blue/midnight blue.

Now don't steal my idea but im goin 2 tone on my 61. Black and white. The main body color is going to be a really rich black then to top it off a white roof above the drip rails. Then in the interior im doing the same black and the inserts in a white or something. Havent really decided yet.

You could go old school black with red wheels and wide whites. If you like the flat old school look, Martin Senour paints now makes a flat clear coat to go over any base color.
