This weekend I put the wheels, wide whites, trim rings and hub caps I had left over from my '62 Studebaker, on my '55 Desoto. Future plans are to paint the roof the same color as the wheels. ("Surf blue".) Whatcha think?
I like it! nice ride man! you should check out the P15-D24 forum! I bet they will love to hear all about your ride!
The white walls look good on the car, but I'm not so sure on the color of the wheels. I feel the Desoto is a more 'serious' car for that baby blue color. My choice for the roof and wheels would be something like light grey metallic or even a light metalflake. Copper/Gold metallic would look good aswell imo. Oh and I would lower the car a couple of inches for some extra custom look.
Not bad- the whitewalls look great on it, I'm just not so sure about the color choice on the wheels, looks a little too bright on an all black car. I'd go with something like a light silver-blue on the wheels and roof to break it up if it were mine. I believe that's Al's old car, right? If so, I'm glad to see it stay in the area- she's a nice one. I've got a '55 Fireflite 2 door hardtop I've been working on for a while now. Not too many desotos around here that I've seen.
