Hot Rods In Appreciation of Washington Blue (and other closely related hues)

Thanks for the info Marty

 

Thanks (X2) for the info, Marty!

 

Ran across this one in a Model A thread and had to bring it over to post it here. Badass!

 

I feel the need for more Blue...

 

From another WA Blue thread here on the HAMB, thanks to @1956 F100. Same car, different lighting.

 

Didn't see the Bishop roadster in this.

 

My '40 getting the treatment.

 

Daayyyuuummmmmm! That looks nice!

 

Thank you! The perfect AV8.

 

Awesome. That is the perfect color for a 40 pickup.

My 32 still looks good in blue after 17 years

 

Time to update this thread again.

A little inspiration for @Marty Strode to finish putting together his 40 pickup

 

October 1st, time to update this picture thread. This is from Joey Ukrop's blog post on the RPM Nationals (https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...-margarita-a-rpm-nationals-pictorial.1243127/)

 

My '40 on the way home from the painter, and safely in the garage.

 

Update time! This from Jive-Bomber's thread on blue hot rods


I have a feeling there may be more coming very soon

 

More....

 

John Hornbrook's 32.
GG's 2021 Hot Rod of the Year.

 

And some more...

 

Hello!

 

More from the Blue Hot Rod's thread

 

Post 243 nailed it.

 

From the Blue Hot Rods thread:

 

I just ran across this post from Ryan from back in 2010, and decided I need to add this classic hot rod to this thread. Here is the Jim Kougaz roadster, which went 123.28 MPH at El Mirage on April 25, 1948.

How about in the hub caps?

I am trying to find a ppg code for Ford 47-50 Barcelona Blue..would anyone know what it could be?
I don't have anything but photos to show the local paint shop, so hoping for a code to give them.
Thanks

Go here:

1947 Color Codes - Ford Paint Cross-Reference (paintref.com)

You can select whatever year you need. I looked at 47 & 48 and found Barcelona Blue on both years; I imagine 49 & 50 will have it also.

This is where I found the code for Washington Blue. Several years in the late 30's used it.

 

Thanks Atch
I tried giving paint shops some codes I found online. None of which they could find.
I'll now try with the Ditzler PPG code 10361
