I had a beater convertible that was Cameo Beige with a fawn interior that I 
wouldn't have thought of as a good combo, but it really grew on me.  Even tho 
it was too rusty to save I polished it up, put a new top and carpet in it, 
drove it for five years and really hated to see it go.  I still have the beige 
painted top frame.  If anyone out there has a decent one let me know.

Is it just me or is Aztec Bronze the nicest color you could get a Corvair in?  I mean it's gorgeous!!  I don't think I've ever seen one in person but I've run across some pictures of Aztec Bronze Corvairs lately and it's amazing - especially if the picture's taken with the car in the sun.  Hmm, someday.  My vote for an interior color scheme would be the gold(bronze) paint with fawn upholstery.  We had a Cameo Beige 4-door with that interior and it was nice.  Yep, that's my vote.
