Interior trim

[captndan]

Finally got the 31 Tudor home. I have read that the interior trim was maroon regardless of the exterior color. Is this correct?

No.

Is it a standard or deluxe Tudor?

It's a Standard. Didn't think that maroon sounded right. Thanks

I believe that the maroon is correct for a standard 1931 Tudor.

I asked this question a while ago regarding my 30 Tudor Standard and got a variety of answers and opinions. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=181845

The header finish strip was painted upper or lower body color.

The Deluxe Tudor (body style 55B-Deluxe) had Mahogany Woodgrained moldings for all of the above mentioned moldings including the header finish strip.

The Tudor molding colors are not influenced by the exterior colors of the car, except the header finish strip as noted above.

This book is a wealth of information and anyone who is trying to authentically restore their Model 'A' or 'AA' should own one of these books.

You know what's missing in the chart, the Victoria.

(I assume we are still talking about the Molding Color Chart on page 12-11 of the RG&JS.)

How the hell did I miss that!!!
