Andalusite vs Washington blue?

My Coupe is Andalusite, and yes it is very dark. Most people that come into my garage think it's black. Only when it's out in the sun, can you see the blue.
 
My advice: To finalize your color choice, go to a big meet, like a national meet, and seek out cars in the colors you are considering. Do not go by photos. Take pictures of the colors you like, to reference in the future, but don't decide on other people's photos alone.

Hey, I think I got it ! Its surprising what a few gin and tonics with a nights sleep will do.. Thanks for the help fellas, I appreciate it.. And it now appears to work just about any way I try it..Strange..

Our Roadster has at least four different hues of Washington Blue. Any one of 'em is perfect ... and on a spring evening about 7 PM, up against 150 collector cars and hot rods, she will still take a trophy!
Here she is in the rain at the St. Patrick's Day parade. The sidemount whitewalls STILL have green stains!!!

Not that it matters that much, but was Washington blue a "legal" color on a 1930 town Sedan? Along with the Tacoma cream wheels, it is the color I want.

Not according to the DeAngelis book.
I'm still looking for the fine or punishment for such a grievous "illegal" infraction. :rolleyes:

One more attempt to post these photos. If it fails, take my word for it - I have a beautiful Washington Blue '31 roadster (a smaller view of it is in my avatar to the left here.).

The Andalusite Blue is a fantastic color too. The Model A has NO "bad" colors!

P.S. I would like to learn how to post "large size" photos like the ones above. It's probably a very obvious and simple procedure.

Thanks, Kevin, for your info on how to post "big photos". I'll give it a try sometime soon.

Horsewhisperer - We're trins! Nice roadster!

The only words I see on my trunk locks are "MI AUTO LOCK". Nothing about "EAGLE". And the keys have been lost forever - I never had them when I acquired the trunk about 25 years ago. I would love to find a good locksmith who could fabricate new keys.

The trunk is all steel - Looks exactly like yours except mine doesn't have lifting handles on the ends. 'Wish it did. It's an original dating from the '30's but I don't know if it was ever an official Ford accessory. It fits the trunk rack perfectly but is a bugger to get on and off the rack without handles!

All the best with your beautiful car.

Take care,

Earle

Earle,

Your "MI Auto Lock" was produced by the Milwaukee Stamping Company.

After searching for locksmiths in Ontario and the US, I found a locksmith in Milwaukee that had original "Eagle" keys for my metal trunk. I couldn't believe my luck.

But now I'm wondering who manufactured the luggage trunks sold through Model A Ford dealers. Not a topic for this thread, though.

I can barely recall this stuff (Too many candles on the cake) But the grass strip I used to fly out of (Twin Pines, Ewing,NJ) had an original Taylor cub. I understand there's only about a dozen on the registry.
It still had the 36 HP engine. Not enough to get you out of trouble.
The guy who owned was one of those guys who like basic minimum vehicles with basic minimum powerplants. He told me a hairaising tale about not being able to get out of ground effect with it. It was an interesting plane nevertheless.
