Default Re: Arabian Sand Dark and Copra Drab colors

Larry,
Open cars had the option according to the Paint and Finish booklet of either Arabian Sand Dark or Light. Both the light and dark main colors had Copra Drab for the belt mouldings and French Gray for the pin strip. Closed cars only had Arabian Sand Dark as a paint color. I have no idea why Ford did this, but evidently they did if the paint book is correct and I believe it is. My advice is to NOT use PPG Concept (maybe any PPG paint for Copra Drab) for your Copra Drab. If you do, I think you will be real disappointed.
