I love the little details that cars used to have...not to mention the lively colour schemes.
This 1956 Ford Town Sedan that I saw at a local car show was painted a handsome two-tone green that offered a nice contrast to the striking chrome trim along the sides.

Fun Fact : A 1956 Ford can make you a better banjo player.

It's true : the ribbed trim you see here on the car's port side was mirrored on the starboard side. A banjo-playing uncle once told me that his dad owned a car like this one when he was a kid, and he discovered one day that he could roll down the window and practice doing fingerpicking banjo licks on that ribbed chrome trim on while riding in the front passenger seat ; the four ribs in the trim perfectly matched the spacing of the strings on his banjo!

Apparently he got away with doing that until his dad finally noticed the scratches from his metal banjo picks all over the side of the car...
