57 Coronet

Friend up the street where I grew up, his father had a 57 light with dark blue. 325 cu in. Nice driver and sharp ride. Last whereabouts, somewhere in VT.
 
Of those three, I'd chose the copper and white ( no black cars in my life again, not a huge fan of red, too many red cars now.) All kinda depends on interior colors though, I suppose.
My personal choice would be the coral and gray. (Mopar had something similar to the 55 Chevy colors).
The copper and white is my wife's choice as well, but....the entire dash and interior is red, so, you can have a red interior i guess with that exterior combination, many cars have different exterior color that sometimes can be completely different than the interior, we haven't got it yet, so, not jumping the gun just yet. We should have it within about a week if everything goes as planned.
 
I'm sure there will be guys here who hate the big new wheels, but in my opinion they are a huge improvement over the wide whites and wheel covers.
They would probably not have been my choice.
I hear you, it currently has mag wheels, but I'd either go with stock steel wheels and premium caps and wide white walls, or, a nice chrome spoke wheel.
 
Let's of people like red, and with an existing red interior, red and white would be very tempting.

Maybe keep the red dash, recover the seats in some sort of copper, and paint the outside the way you want.

yeah, we don't know which way we'll go, we'll concern with the mechanical first so plenty of time for cosmetics. Has the original 325 poly that runs and drives.

THE best wheel for a fin car is the Kelsey Hayes wires. New repops would be my choice. (They will be hard to maintain, but dang, nothing looks better!)
Damn expensive though!
