Hey all - I have googled for days looking for examples of Two Tone (BODY one color and ROOF another - i.e Ming Green Body, White Roof)

I haven't found any really great examples to help me determine the best break line.

Post your links or photos here:

I am especially anxious to see Wagons without the Chrome Trim around the windows.

Tony Grillo - if you see this I would like to see your red wagon - I can't recall if all of your pillars were white or body color? How about the A pillars.

I have a week or two to decide... Thanks all!:doh:

Okay - I found a pictiure of Tony's wonderful Red Wagon from the 2008 LeMay tour. Boy that is nice!

The "A" pillars are white but the other pillars have the stainless trim. Mine will be painted (unless anyone has a good deal on all that stainless trim for a two door).

Many of you have been collecting pictures of Falcons for years - Let's see 'em.

Jeff sorry to put this in here, but can't send a private message for some reason. Tells me I have to wait 326541 seconds between them??? Wheels are on me, color samples are on the way.... Steve

Thanks Steve! I'm sure Pat is working on the forum bug issues. It has been a bit wacky as of late.

I saw this for sale on th HAMB and though you gave up your project. :WHATTHE: I had to read to find out it was in Californa. Same paint scheme and your delivery. :rocker:

I will die with mine after all the work. I am very interested in this two tone thread as well. That will be what I do to mine. I am thinking cobalt blue bottom and a blue silver for the top. Hopefully we will see some pics here soon....

Here is a two tone round body but not a wagon. I really like this line. It's how I would go if I did a two tone.

There is always the Foose Falcon from Overhaulin'. It's a three tone.

Here is a great look. It sort of looks like the old So-Cal Speed Shop graphics.

These are some nice flames. Not too over the top.

Two tone rust and old paint. It would be low maintenance.

There is something disturbing about the Falcon Emblem being upside down.

It WOULD be nice to find an original paint job to know what they did at the factory but I think if you did what appealed to you, no one would even think it was/wasn't correct.

Personally, I would do the A pillars body color and the rest white. Kinda looks like what a convertible station wagon would look like if they were crazy enough to produce one. Then I would spend the next few years looking for a nice stainless trim set to cover the white pillars. I always have fun tracking down the hard to find stuff!

jeff.. do you like blue? I think the silver and blue falcon really looks great but thats me, how about silver & green , maybe you need photo shop and a black and white stick drawing of your wagon and go for it.just think of the things one can do with color, john h:BEER:

I'l stuck on the body being the original Ming Green, roof Corintian White.

I'll think about the white pillars although I have not seen an example to help with the choice.

I've goofed around with markers and photoshop - I'm slightly color challanged so it's a hard thing to judge.

So far I'm leaning toward the transition lines that Kenny posted earlier - all pillars body color...

Luvin the pics... I am leaning towards a blueish silver for the top and a cobaltish blue for the lower half... Just not sure where the dividing line should be??
Love the flat black delivery and the super delivery...

If this emblem is straight, call a tow truck... My goodness, that's one sweet ride, though. With a turquoise interior - perfect.

okay - it's back from paint. We decided to break the two-tone at the top of the windshield.

Painted pictures are from earlier today. Car in primer is from last week.The car is now home in my portable garage.

Now I can start installing all the parts spread though my house, basement, back yard.
