32 Ford Dash Original Color

[Gordon Ellis]

What was the original color of the dashboard of the 32 Ford? Is the color of the paint on the backside of the dash the same as the original front color?
Thanks for any help re this thread!

If it is standard model, the answer is yes, the front and back were the same color (Interior Gray, but more brown than gray). If it is deluxe model, the answer is both yes and no. Yes, it is the same base color as used on the front before the wood graining, but no in the sense that once wood grained the appearance of the front and back are remarkably different.

Below are a couple of photos for guidance.

Thanks David for your helpful response. My Ford is a standard coupe. Indeed, the back of my dash looks very much like the color in the pics you sent. Was the original paint a high gloss or flat?

High gloss.
