HELP! Photos of 55's needed

Well I made the decision some time ago to repaint my 55 Special 2 door Riviera a different color than it's original Gulf Torquoise but work has been so hectic it has been slow progress this year.

I've been trying to decide on a color for ages but haven't settled on anything yet.

I need help from any forum members who could send me photos of a 55 2 door Riviera color combination.

Some of the colors I'm looking at are Black over black over red or Black over red over black , White over all mid metallic blue, maybe Black over all pale yellow
but I'm open to any and all options.

So send those photos to my email buickman@bigpond.net.au and post them here as well if you like.

At the moment I have a blank canvas other than the black and red interior which is nice and original and will be staying as is.

By the way that is my favorite color combination on 55's (dover white/gulf turquoise/dover white)...probably because it was the color of my first.
