What color should I go with for the 1946 Suburban? I believe all of these are roughly speaking original colors. The 7th option is painting it to match my pickup - Brewster (dark) green & black. I am leaning towards one of these but am curious what the masses think. My second chouce is to match my pickup Brewster Green. They are in no particular order.....

I like #3 because it's a color most people won't use unless original to their vehicle. It's good to be different sometimes. Guarenteed it'll get noticed. smile

#1 is what would look best parked beside your pickup wink

Go for the Brewster Green with Gigilo Green Stipe. This worked on my '39 Suburban and looks great except for those folks who ask if they were Military colours. Stan

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

I am leaning towards Omaha Orange but it will probably change ten times between now and when I actualy order the paint.

Tim, my wife gets peeved at me sometimes because I "change my mind" but I remind here that I (and you) can change my mind all I want to right up until the last moment for the final decision. Let us know what you decide in the final moments smile
