What color is the interior?

Remember, there is a lot of sheetmetal there, so choose wisely.

Belmar Red with the right wheel and tire combo would be killer -- love that color. It could even stand a two tone with a Bamboo Cream.

A sleeper color to me is '65 Mayfair Maize, very distinctive but not a hammer to your retinas like a Daytona Yellow would be. Would look great with a 70/78 blackwall and cragar ss wheel combo.

Cadillac Firemist/Firefrost colors from the same era, which would be available as a special order color. I recall a gold/bronze that was gorgeous.

Those all assume a fairly stock outer appearance; if you are going for a custom look, some Foose-like two toning may be in order, like a muted cream over champagne with a nice pinstripe.

If you want her to be the baddest mother in the valley, paint it like the Smokey Yunick #22 car -- gold over black with the red stripe with a fawn interior.
