Shaker Dilemma

[floorit426]

I've owned my '70, for 45 years. In that time, the shaker has always been black. While I know that the color is incorrect, I've always liked it, and I consider it part of the car's history. My buddy, Topcat, showed up at my house today, driving his beautiful '71, with a freshly painted argent shaker. I am about to repaint my scoop, organisol black, but we decided to see what his scoop looked like, on my car. I didn't think I was going to like it, as much as the black, but it really looks nice. Now, I'm having second thoughts about the black. The wife still prefers the black. What do you guys think?

Well, sounds like you need another bubble.

I think argent looks right at home on a 70....makes it look like a whole new car

I like the argent but I get the history aspect.

Looks like you gotta buy your wife another cuda and use the black shaker on that car. ;-)

I agree with Alan.

70 'cuda for me would have an argent shaker. Compliments the grill and rocker moldings.

Kind of like matching your shoes and belt.

I see your point with the black shaker as it makes it pop more.

Guess you could swap out shakers based on your mood? Heh.

I have a '70 Yellow Challenger with black vinyl top. I've had mine only for 30 years  Apparently the previous owner painted the rims black. I always figured they were original. A few years ago I found out on here that they weren't. I refreshed them and kept them black. Black on yellow just pops.

The argent might be original and does look cool. But I like the black a bit better. I suspect if black was an original option, you would have a few more votes for black
