Re: '32 standard roadster project - some further progress
You’re super informative again David!
I thought the paint non-option and pin striping add on was pretty funny! Glenn |

Re: '32 standard roadster project - some further progress
For '32 in North America, the body paint colors dictated the striping color, regardless of the model, standard or deluxe, and all colors were offered on all models. So, all passenger cars with black painted bodies and those with maroon and black painted bodies had metallic gold pin striping. Those with green painted bodies had metallic silver pin striping. The rest of the color offerings (Washington blue and black, Old Chester gray and Tunis Gray, Winterleaf brown light and dark, Emperor brown light and dark (a late color offering replacing the Winterleaf browns) had Tacoma cream pin striping.
Unlike in subsequent model years, wheel colors were "suggested" based on the body color, not dictated by the body color. The three wheel colors offered were Apple green, Tacoma cream, and Aurora red with only the Tacoma cream color also used for pin striping (Colored wheels were standard equipment on deluxe models with black wheels a no-cost option and colored wheels were optional at extra cost on standard models.) So, if you had an offbeat color sense, you could opt for Apple green wheels for your maroon and black roadster, for example. Surviving invoices show that a surprising number of cars were built with seemingly unnatural body and wheel color combinations. |
