We Love Sedan Deliveries

It appears to be a late 1940's Standard. Cropped version of photo taken in Lonsdale Street, Melbourne; State Library of Victoria

Air Horns!

 

Can anyone tell me what colour this is please?? ( I know it's red). Thank you.

G****....

 

Almost looks like a matte version of this color.
I was told one time that it’s called Guardsmen Red, and that Jesse James’ ‘32 is the same color, but I’m not convinced of that.

 

Thank you ( I think)

 

I wondered if it was a matte version of a pearl red??

Nice old photo. Even if those cars are now restored those liscense plates are now worth more than the two cars will ever be.

I wish I knew more about this one!

I'm pushing things a bit with this one. I recently found a Melbourne streetscape photo that shows a 1937-38 Ford 7W panel van. There was an Oz enthusiast for 7W Fords who had maybe every 7W model, sedans, convertibles, coupe utes and roadster utes but he could never find a 7W panel van. None are known to exist. The 7W was the first Ford to have the grille shell with the three vertical slots.
