Personally if going green I would use the Linden Green as on the Andretti show car that Ford show off nowadays. I don't think that many metallic colours translate well onto this 60's shape. However as a green, it is one of the most recogniseable greens going and I would love it AND the car to put it on too!
Sorry I can't as I don't know where a reference is located on the web. However the car belongs to Ford and often appears where they have a do on regarding 40's. Maybe someone else can advise. The colour is sort of similar but non metallic.
