That is a real sharp color, of course as I have been told more than once I am not good at colors. Thank heavens I do not listen and still think the trees turn orange in fall. The bottom line is mine is red and I do like it, but that color just pops for me. :)

To me and a lot of others (I think) it is more important the car looks like it is suspose to have the color on her than it being a true Chrysler color. In fact I would be close if I said that sometime Chrysler had that color in her line up at one time.

The car looks great to me and that is what counts. :D

Keep up the good work as these pictures helps me keep on track with my project.

Love the colour and it suits the car. Congratulations!! One thing I noticed is that your '53 has a '54 hood ornament. I'm not trying to sell one as I don't have a spare but just thought I would point it out.

i drove to alabama only to find that the parts car i was going to get was a total waste do to rust, but i didnt come back empty. i bought the bumpers and the hood ornimate to replace my damaged 53 one. i purchsed NOS hinges off of ebay and managed to get the door to swing properly and then it was a easy matter of having a body shop pound out the dent. Im taking it to shadberuns for interior next week if they are still left after the storms

The windows do appear--in those pics--to be tinted. Maybe it's just the

lighting. However, my 54 Plymouth has factory tinted windows all around.
