The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Non-Authentic Paint Colors & Schemes

Bob has a good point, many traditionalists have given opinions & they believe it devalues a car with non original paint schemes, which I think is somewhat debateable. I am a purist but would not be put off by paint [ unless vivid green, red or yellow!] but am put off by so called úpgrades' to the chassis or mechanicals.
I can remember many Model A's here painted in one overall colour [ fenders same as body] which was fashionable after the War & to me looks good.
