Trying to pick a color

[krodaddy]

I'm trying to decide on a color for the 52 cranbrook.

Anyone here have a pic of a Plymouth painted Kitchener Green, or Nile Green?

Thanks, Barry

How about Lido Green Poly (an original '52 color)? Or if you want to go into the blue family, try Belmont Blue, another original color for the 1952 Plymouth.

I had two Belmont Blue Cranbrooks and still regret not buying a beautiful Lido Green one years ago.

There are color chips for all makes/models posted at:

UPDATE: I just went to the link above and the color resolution on the '52 Plymouth colors isn't all that good.

Here's a link to an eBay auction for a Cranbrook that's 'almost' Belmont Blue.

This car was originally Belmont Blue and was repainted by Maaco to the closest color they had at the time (mid-1980's). I know that because it used to be my car, and I sold it nearly 20 years ago!

Im gonna paint my 52 a mopar muscle color. Im leaning towards plum crazy.

You could always go with panther pink with a black roof. That would be pretty sweet. Or the sublime.

Thanks for the info.

Lou, I like the red, but I think I'm going with the Kitchener green.

Sure would like to see more pics of your cars. Any colors accepted.

I don't know the name of this shade of green, but I like it. This car was

at the Nashville Goodguys show in '06.

When I bought my D30 I was also looking at a 61 Rambler with a flathead. It had been painted what I would call panther pink. The only thing missing were some paw prints.
