Re: 40 Ford Raffle
Looks like same color as my car. Not sure what they called it in 40 but in 39 it was Dartmouth green.

Re: 40 Ford Raffle
Up until 1936 ,the Ditzler color chart I have shows 10 different shades of green. I would expect some of those carried over to 1940 as well.

Re: 40 Ford Raffle
So, if you do win it, are you still going to drive it to the winner's house?

Re: 40 Ford Raffle
If I were to win it I would leave it as it is, and drive it all over the lower 48 states before heading for home in Alaska. I probably would ship it from Seattle though. there are a lot of long stretches in Canada with no help, especially for this old of a car. help with experience and parts would be hard to come by.-----Jim

Re: 40 Ford Raffle
O.K guys the color of the 40 is Cloudmist Gray. If you look at the color chips in the Ditzler paint manual for Fords from 37-48 the Cloudmist Gray chip is on the money for the color on the coupe. Photos , depending on lighting and whether taken indoors or out, can change the actual color on a car. The photos you have seen actually make the color look darker. Posting them from a photo onto a computer also has an effect on the color.

Re: 40 Ford Raffle
In my defense:
To spell is one of those verbs with both an irregular form and a regular form. (See the table below for some others.) The past tense and the past participle can be written as either spelled or spelt. Always room to learn something.
