Two-tone Muscle Cars

Several weeks ago I started a page on Facebook on this topic:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1677389095611174/

I enjoy two-tone cars for their rarity and the possibility of interesting color combos that vinyl tops may not have afforded.

However, I haven't found many Buicks that fit this style of trim. If you have a pic of a two-tone Buick muscle car (or at least a car with performance pretensions – a hopped-up Skylark is alright as long as it demonstrates two-tone paint), please post it here so I may post it on FB, or please join the group and post 'em yourself....thanks!

 

Heres my 67 gs when i decided to plastidip to top silver.
It s back all black now

 

Thanks....and silver was an available color back then, along with black, correct?

 

Factory white with black painted top.

 

Aqua Mist and Glacier White 34-10 pnt code. The original Very Few & Very Few II...

 

No need to stop at 2 tone; there were tri tone Buicks.

 

Not muscle cars.

 

This is what happens when you don't want to repaint it white and the factory color as a complete top and bottom color doesn't work either. So paint the top to go with the interior.

Define a muscle car.

 

U may be opening a can of worms on that lol

 

tell me more about that cowl hood

 

What's funny about painted roofs to me is that they were a cheaper option than vinyl tops but required more labor (essentially costing GM more money). They had to finish the surface vs. covering it, and mask the body for the contrast color.

Not really up for debate in this thread, as no one agrees on a definition.

However, I did say in the original post "If you have a pic of a two-tone Buick muscle car (or at least a car with performance pretensions...)" so I reckon that should be enough.

 

So are those both factory colors?

Cuz the cars should look relatively authentic. I know gold and red go well together, but can't tell if that red is the proper red for '65.

I gotta ask, though: you didn't think monotone gold and red interior didn't work?

 

one of my 68 skylarks is a factory 2 tone, dark blue with white top, I attached pictures of the original invoice and window sticker and a picture as of last sunday

 

Nice . . . will be posting them piecemeal over the next few days. I'll do my best to attribute each of you owners but, really, it's all about the car, right?

 

The lower color is '65 Champagne Mist. I painted the car , intending to be all Champagne Mist. When I rolled it out of the paint booth the next day, I almost tossed my lunch. So the owner of the body shop that I rented the booth at suggested the red roof. The red is not a '65 Buick color, but it goes with the original red interior very well.
At least I think so. Anyways, it has been done for 27 years and I still like the combination.

It is a Glasstek. Never measured, but I'm guessing a 4" cowl. It was on the car when I bought it as a wounded mess.

 

mines 2 tone, the top is painted instead of Vinyl
