Ok I found 2 cars. 1 is solid silver. 2 is silver/claret. Both have dark red Leather. Which will show better?

I certainly do not see a lot of the 2 tone cars around....

Assuming both are in the same condition, paint wise, I would say #2. Depends on what you mean by "show" also. At a car show judged by someone that knows something, then the quality of the paint or maybe rarity of a certain color for a year should only come into play. JMO & 2cents 

I've always liked the '81/'82 two toned cars, so if that one is on good shape, that would get my vote.

I would go with the claret if that was the only deciding factor

I don't have near the experience that most here do, but my opinion differs a bit- if the cars are otherwise in eqivilent shape, I like the solid color beter for showing the body style.  To me, although you see less of the two tones, the paint takes away from showing on a clean body.  Just my opinion...

The two tone car far will show better by far.  I used to have a '78 Silver Anniversary and loved the two tone.  A member of my local Vette club has an all silver '79 and side by side there was no comparison.  The all silver '79 looked bland.

#2.  But I am biased to the two-tone cars
