Nice Nobler Dick. I had forgotten about those colors. Seems everything was pink and black there for a couple of years. I graduated from highschool in 58, and remember a 55 or 56 "T" Bird, and a 56 Olds painted those colors among others.

You forgot the best color on a car, the 1958, or there abouts Dodge.  Cream, pink and flat black!!! Pink top, cream center and flat black at the bottom.  With white walls of course.

Around 1959 or '60, my buddy's dad had a '55 or'56 Chevy two tone black over pink.  The color combo "grew on you" after a while!

A photo of the late Gene Hempel's black and fluorescent pink OTS Joker is posted on the PAMPA photogallery.

Can someone colorize this with Photoshop, or something?

What a coincidence Black and Pink eh.  My new Cardinal is going to Flouro Pink wings with a Black Fuselage and Flouro Yellow trim.

You will definitely need sunglasses on to look at this one. **)

Wow Pink and Black!  Pink and black Fords, pink and black Plymouths; I joined church in a Charcoal suit with a pink shirt.

We had a little display contest in 1958 and in the picture I'm holding my Fox 35 powered Kenhi Wildcat, pink and black, which I named "The Pink Mouse".  Hey, I was 15.  My buddy Ed Staniek is holding a Scalemaster Jenny with a McCoy 29.

Those were good days!
