Color of 36 -5 w
Been ready to paint my 36-5 w for about 4 years now and stil can't decide on a color.!!!! Crazy hu. Get the color charts out and very few are the colors of the carsi see.I guess the color chips have all faded over years..I like WB but have seen only a couple colors that I like and dont know if owner used another color code and just call it WB also like vineyard green,also different versions .found a Limco dealer close that has all the color codes .guess best thing would get 1/2 pints @ $20 a piece and se what comes close to my color..any ideas?????? Or good color for 36

Re: Color of 36 -5 w
Not an easy decision. I go around with colors for weeks and then go Black.

Re: Color of 36 -5 w
There's something about black for a coupe. I had a Cordoba gray roadster and that was the best color for it. JMO

Re: Color of 36 -5 w
Go with the original color from the factory if you can figure it out.
If not, there is always Henry Ford Black. |

Re: Color of 36 -5 w
The Bonnie and Clyde car is Cordoba Grey, which is not really a grey in the traditional sense.

Re: Color of 36 -5 w
There s no cordoba Grey listed for 36 ,,,,,,in my books... Think it was was a 34 Color
If I like it ,it would be fine,close enough.Mine looked exactly like the grey one in picture above wish I had left it like that,but full of mice ,stunk bad!!!!

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.

I agree, the black 1936 Coupe was well done and a real knock -out. Like you, I could not get enough of it. A very beautiful car. And the patina Coupe was another fascinating car. I just love the Ford Meets--they are just V-8 heaven. |

Yes John, those photos were taken at the Early Ford V-8 Club of America National Meet at Auburn, Indiana, in August 2011. I agree, the black 1936 Coupe was well done and a real knock -out. Like you, I could not get enough of it. A very beautiful car. And the patina Coupe was another fascinating car. I just love the Ford Meets--they are just V-8 heaven. John, More photos of that magnificent 1936 Coupe at Auburn. |

Re: Color of 36 -5 w
Boy, that black coupe looks nice! My '35 5w coupe will be all black like that if I ever get around to working on it.
