Stefano, assuming the '57 was (and I believe them to be) from the '56 production year, then you can find color combinations in the Illustrated Parts Manual (IPC). I also mentioned to you in private that we have pictures of what we believe to be two color combinations on the forum found here: http://www.cessna170.org/forums/viewtop ... =31&t=9368, and in the next 170 News will be a third (I just added these pictures to the forum). Looks like there was two different blues a red and gold all used with white or 4 different schemes. There where two interior schemes and three different colors used in pairs of two. If you are lucky your airplane while have a finish & trim label in the door jam with a code that can be deciphered using the IPC.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!
