The old-school green enamel (30s) looks the best imo. Modern paints can't quite pull off the right tint for some reason. This is close...

The best color is the color it came off the line with.
I'm not a big fan of green generally, but that Meadow Green is very sharp on these trucks.
Sea Sprite Green will be my choice...so is that green or blue it's really kind of aqua.....

I voted for green though.

Funny thing is that I did a google search to find a sea sprite green truck. This picture was actually in Abe's photobucket account.

I have a photo bucket account?

That is a nice color. I like them all too. Is that truck your goal for your 55?
