I tend to lean towards the white. But in a pearl type paint. Something with a little bit of life to it, more than just a plain white. I've also been thinking, if I do stay with white. I may do the interior in red. I was hell bent on and love black interiors. But I'm beginning to think red would be so different, with the white exterior. Most any other experior color would warrent a black interior again. Just some thoughts. Probably a ways off before anything happens. It would be easy to keep it plain old white for the time being and I could still do the red interior. Mark L

I've been going through this with my '60. I will paint it white (the original color) because it's so practical in the desert with these old cars. I was going to liven it up with pearl, but I decided on flames instead. I plan to do the whole car first, then add the flames (coming out of the front wheel wells and halfway back the doors) as time permits.

I vote for a red interior, Mark. White with a red interior is a great combination. By the way, pearl is a separate coat all by itself--not part of the white. That's why I finally decided against it--time and money. With a pearl, you paint base coat, pearl, then clear, so it's called a tri-coat.

I got to see and look over the car with Mark yesterday and think it looks good on the outside just as it is. Great stance and very clean looking.
I would consider blue interior. Many of the SD Pontiacs ( Tempests, etc ), as well as later ones ( early TAs for an example) were white with blue interior and always looked great. My 61 Safari is also white with blue int.
I always looked at white with blue int as Pontiac racing colors.
Any chance of a blue interior consideration?

Not to mention that they're official U.S.A. racing colors.
