Worst color possible 54 Skylark

This has to be the ugliest 54 Skylark built, never liked this color on any 54.

...peachey-beige, but those were the Eisenhower years...yawn...

 

Casino Beige is just that - beige, no peach, just blah putty beige

 

But if you scratched it, you could put a band-aid on it and drive on!

 

Beautiful car regardless

 

If you were looking for an "in your face color" and had the coin to afford this ride back in 1954 , this wouldn't be it.... I'm guessing the black and red combos stood out much more. BUT, if the buyer wanted a classy "mellow" paint job with a rich contrasting interior...this would have fit the bill for a buyer when looking at the trends of cars back in the mid to late fifties. I rather like it but again its not for everyone and I'm sure GM had the buyers already with the futuristic design of this car (Harley Earl special). Today I see a lot of white and silver cars...seem pretty blah to me , but what do I know.

 

This color combo became very popular in the mid-sixties so someone must have liked it. My guess is, it was a "ladies" color...
