Non-Authentic Paint Colors & Schemes

[Synchro909]

What is an authentic colour? Cars came from the factory here in colours not available in the US. Model Ts for example, came in about 6 different colours, not just black. I expect other countries would have been different again.

Authentic colors for the Model A Made in the USA have been researched many times over by the years & body styles as they came off the line..This is right from the factory records.. In your country & others that may have been different, do some research on it.. P.S. Not all Model T Fords were Black here either..

There already has been & have appeared on this site. The colours from the original brochures have been reproduced in Australia for a few years. They were available on 'Sports' [Deluxe] cars which were not the same as Deluxe types in the US or Canada. It was a continuation of 'Deluxe' Model T's which did not come in black in Australia.

As long as the fenders are painted Black and they stay away from metallic colors I’m okay with it. To me nothing ruins the looks of an otherwise stock Model A than non Black fenders.
