Here's an earlier thread on maroon. Good stuff! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/what-is-the-best-maroon-color.561363/

 

Wow there are some beautiful cars here. Sure cant go wrong with a maroon paint job.

 

Can't leave this one out, KA-SCHWINGGG!

 

This thread is great, I now have a new appreciation for maroon.

 

Sa Asphalt Angel knows, I love the color of his business coupe.
I have had a love affair with maroon since my uncle bought his new 1953 Ford. I have had several maroon cars and have a 53 F100 now that is Ford truck maroon. Actually it is a 1969 Lincoln color code, but my body shop friend calls it truck maroon.

 

Any info on the sedan Lynn ? It's not El Bombero's is it ? I really like the darker look.

Some nice cars here. Obviously wheel colour choice can be crucial to the end result!

 

Very true Clem. JW

 

This is a fleet color for Sterling trucks.

My A sedan Called (MR. Maroon)back in the 50's and then sat for years. Until I pulled it out of a barn and rebuilt it in the 70's. I painted it a Ford color Royal Maroon it would look more red in sunlight but got real dark maroon in cloud cover or low light.



Sorry but after many years on the road I chopped it and painted it Black (Sorry Bad Photo)

 

Not really a hot rod but here is mine, actually a Citroen colour called "Rouge Opera"
