OK, lets try again... I'm pondering over scalloping my Olds but not entirely sure if it's the right sort of car/year to be doing such a thing to be honest?? Have any of you Yank fans got some pics on file of similar examples to below, preferably from cars more in the early 60's era? Some brief research obviously throws up a few examples on Goolge - here are some I've already found of the style I think might suit my car. And here's the Olds. Personally I think the body is screaming out for some very subtle custom paint. (added opinions and photoshoppers welcome ). What do you reckon? tar

i think the look of the gold and black car would work on yours. Could look good as the lines follow the rear 1/4 hip.

I'm not sure scallops would work with the current wheels. With some chrome reversed steels it could look awesome. Great post btw. Matt

I nearly bought a Rover P6 in matte black with blue/silver scalloping. Looked awsome (not a yank, but principles the same) I'll post pic when I finish work.

Leave it alone ! I think scallops wouldn`t look right due to the amount of chrome. If you paint the roof black with dark tints, black below the chrome and lower still it would look ace.

First off - your olds is fully ooof worthy as it is, went straight to ebay to check prices.
A nice ghosted or off white scallop on it would look the dart imo, maybe some lace ghosted in places too...

Combined with the scallops in my photoshop ofc, maybe lace in the scallops too.

Rmad's pic works best for me. A simple geometric scallop would suit the lines of the car superbly. Do it then I don't have to worry about whether to do mine or not LOL. Do not lace the roof. I repeat do not lace the roof. I've already got my lace... Those wheels look the absolute nuts on your car.
