sup everybody... i have an 81 elco conquista and want to keep it original looking but modern in a way. but im goin crazy thinking about colors. wanna keep it the brown tonez. (shout out to brown sugar 1 and 2) but theres one just like that here in kern county.i wanna stick to lighter tones that will look real clean looking in the sun. i wuz thinking just flip the two colors.... caramel on top and bottom and creme in the middle..... i dont know... shoot some input and pics if you got some. greatly appreciated. the other pic is my 81 limited 😀

Not a fan of that elco, looks too orange not enough contrast. I think brown is one of the best colors for any car. Are you keeping a vinyl top? Maybe a beige/cream top with a dark rootbeer paint job, almost exactly what you currently have but without all the grandpa trim. I think a larger wheel would give it more of a modern look, even 14" or 15", but definately wires + whitewall.

I want the elco to have its own personality and swagger aside from the regal. (Those are 14" on my regal) what do you guys think about this one.....

Or what about a soft cremem with a brown tone on top and bottom

Good lookin on the shout out! I was never really a fan of brown till I got brown sugar. That color grew on me quick... I think the color combo on the picture of the Elco on the spokes will look hot on your ride. If I see any other brown combos I'll post them up.
