This is my '29 Special Coupe. Body 49A. Mountain Brown with Thorn Brown moldings, Straw wheels and stripe. John

The problem I see is that there are cars painted in colors that the painter believed were Model A colors and may not actually match the colors used in the day. As an example my 1930 Town Sedan's Kewanee and Elkpoint are actually lighter than the "true" color.

I wanna play... 1930 155D Town Sedan, Kewanee Green and Elkpoint Green, Straw Wheels.

No problem at all, may be a good fact to find the accurate color sample!!

I agree with Mike, my Deluxe Coupe is supposed to be chicle and copra drab but these colors are also way off....

Nice color combo Mitch. I bought mine last year and it was painted by a previous owner back in '87. Upper body color of maroon is the same as lower which I think is not right. I believe the wheels are vermillion red. Still no pinstripe.

surprised at the Many greens and how different they are!

always loved Fords colors and not many combinations to dislike- especially black on black!
