    I have been asked that question a lot, I do not know what the color is, the car was last painted in the mid sixties. They did not paint the jambs, and the orig color was mandarin maroon. the color it is painted now is a little lighter and has very fine metallic in it....I am lucky that it looks as good as it does considering the paint is 60 years old
     
  10. There are multiple threads about maroon paint. One was active less than a week ago.

    @lothiandon1940 did you have your car polished? I don't recall it looking that tight! Regardless, looking good!

  20. ...Thanks, but no. Truth be told, some of these images are a few yrs. old. The paint has been on there for 40 years. It's single stage Deltron done around 1984-1985.
