      Leroy, in 1960, my 1955 Ford convert (my first convert, second car) had the darker blue over the lighter blue.

      Rare, but I think it made the car stand out.

              AS FAR AS I KNOW, ALL 1955 FORD CONVERTIBLES CAME WITH THE DARKER COLOR ABOVE THE CHROME AND THE LIGHTER ON THE BOTTOM. I HAD A SOLID BLACK WITH A WHITE SOFT TOP AND RED AND WHITE INTERIOR.

                Bobby,
                As an owner of a MSB, I think it looks absolutely great. I wish the convertible top was the same color instead of the lighter blue it is.

                        Very Nice! I am considering painting my Whisper White 03 top a Black Pearl Metalic. Ant suggestions from fellow T-Birders?

                            I always liked a light blue on white!

                            “THE EDGE,
                            there is no honest way to explain it
                            because the only people who really know where it is
                            are the ones who have gone over.”

                              I like it too. In mid 50's most hardtop 2 tones were a lighter collor but the soft tops were more often darker . As 2 tone's became more popular in late 50's the combination had many changes and often looked like it was about who could be most drastic in color match up. I remember some pretty ugly stuff. The 55-56 Ford failanes made great use of 2 tone nad many were sold each way above and below the chrome. The one that was pretty common I didn't like was black and red.

                                Black Pearl Metallic sounds really nice. I'd get a sample of the color and look at it against the car's white to check. I even went so far as to order the factory color and paint one of my 1/18 model's hardtops to see what it would look like sitting on the 1/18 MSB Dino made for me. Looked great, so I went with it!

                                Go with what you think looks good! In the end, it's only gotta make YOU happy!
