The Ford Barn

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.
