'40 Lincoln Continental Interior Paint Code

[Ron K]

Hey, it is a Ford product and has a flat head in it or at least it will. My car is undergoing body and paint work to restore it to the original Capri Blue color that she departed the factory with so many years ago. It was delivered with the standard interior, not gold trim, and the dash appears to be the original plum/maroon color (Bernie, the gentleman that helped repaint the car black in 1953, says that he does not believe that they painted the interior at the time). A friend, that is a Lincoln expert, tried to ferret out the color code but so far has been unsuccessful, do any of you experts happen to know what the code is? A friend that worked for Harrah's years ago thought that Henry used a maroon colored trim on the interior of some of his other Ford products during this time period and that it might be the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check with the Lincoln Zephyr Owners Club, LZOC.org and/or the Lincoln Continental Owners Club. I think the LZOC is your best bet. Good hunting.

I know absolutely nothing about your car, but Ford did use maroon paint as one of the colors of the '40 Deluxe Ford dash. Drake sells it in aerosol...if no actual information emerges, perhaps simply getting hold of that and comparing it to your dash would be a worthwhile research shot.
