Since we just Bought a MINI

...and yes I know the Buick stream liner is in the Curves section also...but it bears repeating here!

I always knew Buick owners seemed like they were from another planet...

Notice the GM iron in the back ground...

Holycrap : lookit that '59 Eldorado....

[A Horse With No Name]

Local guy has a four door version of the same car..

Impressive, Eh...I thought it looked fantastic!

[Robert Hall]

That '59 Eldo looks customized..chopped windshield, shortened doors (4dr converted to a convertible)? That blue w/ white stripes race car...#5...kind of looks like a Devin, but not sure.

[balthazar]

'59 does have a chopped windshield, but the doors are correct.

All Eldo pieces are in place, too... except the parade boot is custom (streamlined vs the factory piece).

Yeah, I believe it is a Devin.

So much to comment on in this thread - I don't know where to begin...

Interesting..never seen a blue Cameo..thought they were all white & red. That Studebaker truck is neat.

[Camino LS6]

Love the scale model scenes - so convincing!

[A Horse With No Name]

Thanks GMCTG and Olds for posting...

And I thought the model car photographs were neat also.

[Camino LS6]

I especially like the snow scenes.

1955 - One two-tone color combination was available: Bombay Ivory/Cardinal Red

1956 - Eight two-tone color combinations were available:

• Cardinal Red/Bombay Ivory
  
• Cardinal Red/Sand Beige
  
• Golden Yellow/Jet Black
  
• Cardinal Red/Arabian Ivory
  
• Regal Blue/Arabian Ivory
  
• Granite Gray/Arabian Ivory
  
• Ocean Green/Arabian Ivory
  
• Crystal Blue/Arabian Ivory
  

1957 - Nine two-tone color combinations were available:

• Cardinal Red/Bombay Ivory
  
• Bombay Ivory/Cardinal Red
  
• Bombay Ivory/Sand Beige
  
• Bombay Ivory/Indian Turquoise
  
• Jet Black/Golden Yellow
  
• Bombay Ivory/Granite Gray
  
• Bombay Ivory/Ocean Green
  
• Bombay ivory/Alpine Blue

*The first Cameo pictured is a 1955 model while the other three are '56 models (id'ed by the side fender emblem and the new hood ornament for '56, in addition to being offered in the Regal Blue/Arabian Ivory color combo). Another interesting fact is that the '55 Cameo used the '55 Bel-Air wheelcovers while the '56-'58 Cameos used the regular but chromed 1/2 ton truck hubcaps with or without trim rings (some owners, like the two middle '56s pictured, added the '56 Bel-Air wheelcovers).

The Jet black/Tartan Turquoise truck scheme is sharp...I've seen it.

God I wish I could own one of these trucks....

[ocnblu]

Jet Black/Tartan Torquoise definitely stands out for me, too. I'd love to see one that color.

EDIT: wait... which color is predominant? I'd rather see black as dominant and torquoise as secondary...

The Efigy is one of the most beautiful designs ever built.

The first color, in this case Jet Black, is the main color and the second color, in this case Tartan Torquoise, is the color that wraps around the rear window, inside of the bed, and on the side of the bed in the '57 & '58 only chrome trim. That color combo is a '58 only choice. If someone cares to, they can photoshop Turquoise on this one and you'll have an idea of what it would look like:

My personal preference for '57 is this combo:

[GMTruckGuy74]

And while a Google search did not turn up any black/turquoise Cameo's, I did find this reversed turquoise/black '58:

I sooooooo Loooooovvvvvveeeee this Car!!!

[A Horse With No Name]

My 57 Chevy was Turquoise...I miss cars with color...it's boring watching a bunch of silver and gery cars go by on the highway....

Keep those truck pics coming, GMCTG!

[Turbojett]

This makes me want an E36 so bad.

[A Horse With No Name]

My friend Richard co drove My Miata at our last race, and he races an E36 M3. I think I'm going to get a chance to race his car at some point.

I'll let you know what it's like!

The Efigy is one of the most beautiful designs ever built.

As usual...you would be very correct sir!
