31 Deluxe Coupe · 02-12-2015, 10:09 AM

My father-in law Bill, restored his 31 Model A back in the 1970's. He is now 93 and dementia doesn't allow him to enjoy his beautiful Model A. It has sat garaged and covered for the last twenty years. I am now working on it to continue the family history for my kids. As their grandpa used to take them out in it for long drives. The paint is really peeling on the engine. I see in a lot of pictures the engines in Ford Green but Bill's engine is a light Aqua color.

Is this color correct for a 31 Deluxe Coupe?

Sorry for the long story leading up to my question.

Thanks for any help.

Jim
