they were dark blue from 49 till 55. and dark blue and gold starting in 56 till 58? then back to plain blue again i think.
Yep..dark blue. Gold accents were for eldorado's, not sure what years... Here's my 1953 motor. (No. it's not an eldorado, but I wanted to 'liven' up the engine bay without adding chrome. Factory Gold seemed a good fit!)
