Re: The color and the shape!! Body styles and color photo thread!!
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.

Colors are PPG one stage on body, chicle and copra drab. Fenders are two stage PPG. I drove this "A" in high school in 1961, Frame off restoration done about ten years ago, and I did all the restoration. LB interior. |

Re: The color and the shape!! Body styles and color photo thread!!
I agree with Mike, my Deluxe Coupe is supposed to be chicle and copra drab but these colors are also way off....

Re: The color and the shape!! Body styles and color photo thread!!
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.

Re: The color and the shape!! Body styles and color photo thread!!
Greens can be tricky as some other colors, the lighting plays a big part. The Apple green wheels on Sarah look darker, a more 'correct' Apple Green' in certain sunlight. If I correct the wheels, I'd have to correct the pin stripe also and...it's painted on. I'll live with the apple green they are now.
I had a CJ5 once, yellow during the day, lime green in mornings and evenings!!!

Re: The color and the shape!! Body styles and color photo thread!!
Not so fast Grasshopper!!! How can you take off a painted on pinstripe without damaging the base paint also?
Don't answer that here...this thread is for colors and bodies.

Kind of hard to tell with the dark side facing the lens. From here, it does look black.

Re: The color and the shape!! Body styles and color photo thread!!
1930 Standard Two Window Sedan (no cowl lights and plain interior). I believe these to be the correct shades of Chicle and Copra. Not looking to argue, just my opinion.

Re: The color and the shape!! Body styles and color photo thread!!
Here's my 12/30, San Francisco plant assembled, 1931 Deluxe coupe with a factory trunk, in Lombard Blue (I think).
It's really dark and looks black most of the time. Its hard to see the French Grey stripes but they're there, just old and well worn

'29 Special Coupe (49-A), currently cream with brown (some metallic in it) with reddish-orange wheels and accent striping. Not anywhere near original, but will stay like that as I educate myself on the whole ownership experience.!!

Re: The color and the shape!! Body styles and color photo thread!!
Here is my early 28 open cab pickup. I bought it like this from a deceased person's family. Not sure what shade of green it is or even if its an original color. Looks like an original shade to me. Black fenders obviously, wheels are sort of a yellowish cream color, so what would that be?

Re: The color and the shape!! Body styles and color photo thread!!
PS. You can tell that "Sports Phaeton" wasn't in the spell checker of the day as Ford got it wrong. Should have used the term "Sports Tourer" like everyone else did here.
Trying too hard to be 1920's funky I guess. PPS. The red roadster it says is "Corinthian Purple". This is a mixture of purple and red I gather. It is quite a fashionable colour, even by today's standard, and would have looked quite striking. It is listed here: http://www.latex.knobs-dials.com/coding/colortest?q=nth Maybe this is for "girls sports car" ... Last edited by updraught; 08-21-2016 at 09:15 PM. |

After looking through the previous pictures I'm now no more sure of the colour of my car than I was before. 1930 Tudor painted about 35 years ago.

Re: The color and the shape!! Body styles and color photo thread!!
My almost completed 29 special coupe. Not even close to any original colors. But I picked a light grey and a maroon out of the color books. The car is a little off topic but is mostly Model A.

Re: The color and the shape!! Body styles and color photo thread!!
That's those pesky "Drabs" Chichle and Copra (I think the darker one is the copra) I say "Pesky" because there's at least two versions of the darker one. Here's what I think I know, For many years the colors were a two tone brown. Then PPG (?) got the bright idea of changing the darker one to a greenish gray. At least that's my understanding of it. I've got the same colors on my 30 Briggs T.S.
Go to my profile and under the albums "My A" you'll find several pictures of it. Terry |

All the parts houses should sell it in spray cans. I buy mine locally from Little Dearborn and will post two pictures of the engine I'm working on right now.
