https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/maroon-colored-hot-rods.967468/page-10#post-14105397 Hello, Prior to the pandemic, my wife and I were visiting some friends near the coastline. When we decided to drive back through some residential areas instead of the freeway, there are usually many surprises in this coastal city. One of them was this Maroon Model A coupe. It was sitting under an awning cover and getting some work done. The sun was around noon and the sky was slightly overcast, bringing out the color quite well. It has been a long time, but since we first saw this cool chopped Model A coupe, we have not seen it cruising around the So Cal area. But, it has been out and about in various places. Jnaki It is a true maroon color as the color palette describes: “Maroon is a dark, Brownish-Red color, duskier than Burgundy and not as powerful as the color Red. It can be created by mixing the colors Red and Violet/Blue, until the desired color is reached. The Maroon color is often used to represent intense and passionate things like: confidence, creative thoughts, excitement, power, risk, passion, love, ambition, courage, strength, warmth, and beauty.” A great photo taken by Jay Philippbar, at a recent So Cal car display day. This Model A fits the description to a “T” , oops, “A” as we add in stance, traditional and very cool. South OC photo taken by Jay Philippbar "Round round get around, I get around, yeah (Get around round round I get around, ooh-ooh) I get around From town to town (get around round round I get around) I'm a real cool head (get around round round I get around) I'm makin' real good bread (get around round round I get around) I'm gettin' bugged driving up and down the same old strip I gotta find a new place where the kids are hip My buddies and me are getting real well known Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone..." This old song reminds me when I see another photo (if it is the same Model A coupe on a 400+mile round trip, away) The same Model A Coupe at the RPM Nationals at Santa Margarita 2021?
The color on mine is called Sumac Red. Needs a good cleaning. Tried some wax on a spot and the shine comes back. Lot of patina.
