I recently bought a 1930 standard roadster. The body color Is andalucite blue and seems correct. The wheels are painted gray and the striping seems to be similar.
Are the wheel and striping colors correct?

Shouldn't the wheels always pretty much be black, especially for a standard model?

Wheels were colored by dealers per customer request for the most part. Stripe color was used in most cases I'm sure.

It would be nice if you posted your general location on your profile. We have posters/viewers from all over the world. The Judging Guide is the primary source of information like this, however paint color is a good example of things that may have done differently in non USA Ford plants. I have a Canadian 1931 Standard Roadster that still had a lot of original paint on it, especially on the firewall, and it was definitely Maroon. I also picked up another Canadian roadster body in a junkyard in the early 60's that also had original Maroon paint in areas that would not get painted in a routine paint job. There are other small differences in cars manufactured in non USA plants.

Hello, I had an early 1930 roadster the same color as the one you have, as mentioned it would be correct for that model, with the gray wheels as a dealer painted option, should have a black top and interior also with black painted top bows similar to the 1928 9 roadsters .

TCP global is probably one of the few places lacquer is still available.
