Body color based on frame/engine number
I there any information available to determine what the body color was, based on the frame/engine number?
I have learned, base on this number, that my A was built during the second week of February, 1931? Thanks, |

Re: Body color based on frame/engine number
You can't find out the original factory color from the engine number. If those records existed, they are now lost.
You can look around on the inside of the car, sand down through previous resprays, to see if you can find a layer with the original body color. Look up between gas tank and firewall, inside the car. You might get lucky and find it. Sand up there with fine paper and see what color comes off on the paper. Otherwise you choose a color scheme that you like from the tables in the Paint & Finish Guide for your month/year and body style. HTH. .
