I am close to begin painting my 1933 Tudor. Prefer to use one of the original colors but they all seem too dark. From my sources (v8 club restoration, the Antique Ford Repaint Manual and others) there were only 5 color on that year: black, duncan blue, maroon, emperor brown and chester gray. None is a light color and have almost no contrast with the black fenders, except some with Emperor brown and Chester Gray. I have seen pictures of 1934 Cordoba gray with vermillion red wheels that seems a beautiful combination and I am tempted to use. Does anyone know if Cordoba gray was ever stock color in 1933? May be at the end of the year? Any other light color cars ever produced in that year? Please post pictures if you have of your Chester Gray and your Emperor Brown cars! Thanks Ford experts. Manuel
