Interesting that there were two gunmetal gray colors for 1957. Have you ever seen a 1957 azure blue? There is a photo of a starmist blue next to an azure blue. I may have seen an azure blue and just assumed they got the color wrong.
Gerard,
Good find... Azure Blue was a correct color on cars made after Sept, 1957. The 1958 models were coming out, and Ford chose to use those colors on the late 57 TBirds.
I have seen a couple Azures in person, and it is a beautiful blue. However, I prefer the Starmist Blue that you have.
