Looks like a nice car to start with, I am curious is this the original paint and will it shine up some?

 

[David Moore]

It is original paint "maroon".

 

[George Miller]

Looks like a nice solid car David.

David,
Any chance that you can see the orginal pinstripping? If so, please post a close up pic.

Thanks.

Ahh, a nice 31 slant windshield town sedan. A great tour car.

Nice to start with that much of the original car. Enjoy the journey.

Just finished my '29. Surprisingly to me, the interior was one of the more fun parts of the resto.

Nice car.

 

[David Moore]

Parts of the original pinstripping is there.
Here are a few pictures hope this helps

What are your plans with it David? Total frame off restoration?

 

[David Moore]

This will be a total frame off restoration

Hi David, I hope you take thousands of pictures as you disassemble the car. I did not and regret it often. Many questions come up about these 160 B's and I wish I had a collection of pictures to share with the answer. Ed Saniewski

Hey David, any progress on the car?

What's fascinating to me is the pin striping and the two-tone paint scheme. It gives you good direction when you're ready to paint the car, if you wish to duplicate the original paint scheme.
Good luck. It looks like it will be a fun project.
