    I'd like to know what everyone thinks is the best looking '63 Buick red paint...Granda Red or Burgundy. I have a color chart in front of me, but it's hard to imagine each of the colors on a car with with parchment interior and white convertible top. If you have photo's to send me, that would be great! email...pat6801@yahoo.com, or post them here.
    Thanks

    Pat,
    Look at an original 1953 Skylark maroonish color in a BCA Bugle or on the web. I think that is the most classic color I've seen on a buick. One of your color choices is probably close to it. Bright reds and fire engine reds are so common, I've heard some rod builders talk about using anything but those over used colors. The darkest color would likely be my choice especially for a large classic auto. Maroon or Burgandy is elegant. Just my opinion. Gary B.
