My coupe progress

[tom36]

While not being a stickler for correctness I am going for an early 60's vibe. the orange and ivory paint with steelies and wide whites...

I like your thinking   Tom...

I like what you're doing but I have a question. From what I remember, wasn't the wide whites and caps more of a late 50's deal? By the early 60's I started seeing chrome wheels and metallic paint. Just curious if some areas had different fads.

I think you are correct. by 63 thin whitewalls ( if any) and chrome wheels were pretty much "it"  Tom...

Current plans call for orange with ivory scallops

I think that combo sounds great. Dreamsicle colors with an old time look. I have seen them together on 2-tone paint and very much like the combination. I think the scallop paint with those colors will be perfect. Keep up the good work.

Looking very good Tim. On the whitewalls...Lotsa guys didn't "like" the skinny whites until well into the mid to late 60's. I was a regular for Goodyear wides in 14" until '68 or '69.

Heh, heh, by the mid 60s I was running pretty wide narrow wall whites.

I always mounted the white walls with them mounted towards the inside. The always looked un-kept if you didn't keep them clean and I always cared if things worked right rather than looked good doing nothing. GPster
