This car has the lower and upper body the same color and basically a stripe around the belt. From these same color guides it seems to be more of a 1928/29 color scheme but i'm not sure. I actually prefer this kind of scheme for my 1930 tudor but i don't know if it is accurate.

NO it does not say that all have different upper and lower colors! You need to see the specific body style and the specific color. There are about 8 pages of color charts in the RG&JS maybe someone will copy them all for you and post them here, I will give toy one example 1931 400-A;


Brewster green, Copa Drab, aqua green, ford Maroon and of course black, ALL these had the upper and lower body the same color. (RG&JS revision 2011 page 14-7.) the reveals are different on the non black and some even have the mouldings a different color.
