If not, there is always Henry Ford Black.

Tony, were those two pictures taken at the CNM in Auburn, Indiana? I know I have seen both of those cars at past EFV-8 Club meets. The black coupe was so well done I just couldn't stop looking at it and taking pictures. I really liked the other 36 with original patina as well. First time I saw that one was at the St. George Utah meet in 2010, but can't recall if I saw it at the Auburn meet. I also have a bunch of pictures of that one taken at St. Geo.

Don, why not attend one of this years EFV-8 Club meets and spend some time looking at the colors of all the 36's you can find. Maybe one will really jump out at you and you could get details on the paint used on that particular car. What was the original color of your car?

I know what color my coupes will be when, or if, I ever get them on the road. They were both originally black as Henry made them, and that's how they will stay as long as I own them. My next favorite original Ford color is Dearborn Blue used in 34 and 35, but Washington Blue used in 36 wasn't that bad either IMO.
