What Color Scheme is Sarah?
I've been mistaken. If Sarah was repainted according to proper paint codes, she's not Rock Moss Green as I thought. Are the wheels Apple Green? I've come across other As the same color with straw wheels.
Any opinions???????????????   All other photos are harder to see the two tone green on the body. Cheers...............

Re: What Color Scheme is Sarah?
Actually it appears to me (remember digital cameras & computer monitors alter the hues) the body is someone's attempt at Brewster Green, and the same with the wheels. It appears the wheels are an attempt at Apple Green (those are too yellow over the original the original Apple Green). Still looks nice though.

Re: What Color Scheme is Sarah?
Good news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuel system has been completely disconnected and.................the fuel shut off valve works!!!!!!!!!!!
 Now I have to wait for a neighbor to go walking by to hold the fuel bowl in place to bolt it against the firewall.......I hope she's good looking.

Re: What Color Scheme is Sarah?
The wheels, IMO, are more lime green from other photos of apple green wheels I've seen and that is why I asked.
It's not a big deal but I'd just like to know if the restorer was true to colors for 1931. I like the colors, the wheels sure stand out. BTW....today is fuel line replacement day as recommended by so many.

Yes, more Blue tint added would have made them closer to original, --however just remember that you will get just as many thumbs-up with that color of wheels over the stock color. Now, as for getting thumbs-up on the whitewalls, ... ...  (Just kidding of course!!) . |
