well, you can't go wrong with any of them, BUT, the gold is something I've never considered, and the one in the picture you showed is niiiiice. I've already voted.

I wonder how gold with black between the trim, maybe even the roof (top only) might look... Hmmm.

I voted for gold as well from a functionality stand point. The blue is beautiful, however if it's a daily driver and I'm assuming you don't have A/C, I'd go with a lighter color, cooler and easier to keep clean.

Oh no, red is losing the race! Can I vote again? I do like the gold...a bit different, but quite unique.

Isn't there a reddish gold? =)

Normally i am an all black person, every vehicle I have owned for myself has been black. My current '65 Chevy is the first vehicle I have ever wanted a different color, and everyone I know is pretty confused with the turquoise and white combo. Even then it is still gonna roll around for a few years in black primer. That being said, since a black option was not in the poll I voted red. It's a solid choice for a classic ride, and looks good on almost anything. To me blue is really tricky on a lot of classics, and the wrong shade seems to downplay the cars a lot. I just plain don't like golds, browns and tans on anything. But that's just my .02

I was leaning toward the Gold, my wife likes the turquoise and white combo but her vote doesn't count. Don't tell her I said that!

What color interior do you like. That may help you narrow it down.

I'm thinking of a seat out of a Yukon so most likely tan leather.

You should definitely go red.....cause I'm already going gold with mine! JK! Another gold one is always welcome.

This is mine in a Bright Poly Blue, also supposed to be GM med Blue. I was thinking about going with Gold on my 66 though. Acually alot of colors have passed through my head. I acually voted for Gold..
