Wow! That the best color I ever seen from those days. As good as the color photography is, I don't remember those colors being available in 1957, so I dug around on the internet and found an old paint chip chart. Sure enough, that is Regatta Blue and Doeskin Tan. Too bad I lived where most of the Fairlanes were pink and turquoise or black and white cop cars! Those are great looking. I still have a couple of the snap together Fairlanes that were so goofy looking and out of scale. I may have chop them up.
