Flathead Paint Color
I know that the early flatheads were painted green
and the last two years (52-53) they were painted orange. What is the correct engine block color for: 1937-38-39 Ford Flathead? 1940-41-42? 1946-47-48? 1949-50-51? According to the paints available in one of the Early Ford V-8 parts catalogs, it seems that green was the color until 1942. Is this correct? I have the The Early Ford V-8 - As Henry Built It - The Production Facts Book 1932-1938 by DeAngelis and Francis, but the book does not go into detail about this aspect of the engine block color. They do say this: Cast pieces are engine block color; Stamped pieces are painted black; Aluminum pieces were left unpainted. Mostly interested in the engine block color for 1937 and 1939 Ford Flathead. Any help appreciated. Thanks, TonyM. |
