Unusual paint colour, Duchess Green over Pinecrest Green. Very rare.
Most FC's in this colour were the opposite way around with the lighter body and dark flash.
It's good to know that these cars are still out there and will one day make it back onto the street.

Ken are we looking at the same wagon ???,the one in picture appears to have a whitish flash and light body colour on my pc??

I have a 58 FC special sedan in my collection in exactly the same colour scheme and have never seen another until this wagon, the duchess green is really light but if you put a white panel next to it you can just see a slight green tinge,
regards mike.
Thanks Mike, sorry Ken, eyesight not what it used to be must be the weather ;)
I Argee with Ken a very unusual and rare color combination especially in a wagon and it looks well loked after, a nice find and i hope it stays original.
