'36 Spider recess color

[Steve in Denver]

Anyone know if the recesed V8 on the '36 Spider hubcaps is painted? Painted Black, or Painted corporate blue?

On page 23 of the '35-'36 book says, "This hubcap has an embossed Ford logo, painted Body Color on deluxe models and black on early standard models to match their black hub caps".

On page 129, it does not say anything about the recess color on the Spiders.

No paint originally on the optional-at-extra-cost spyder wheel covers.

Spiders were a dealer installed accessory, having no color applied.

Steve, Dave is 100% correct... NO paint.

Steve, this is a pic of the 1938 spyder on my car. FYI: 1938 spyders continued through 1939 without change. Sad note... The guy with the smile is the new owner of my '39. I'm the clown with the frown.
