What Color is my car

[Dan1928]

Hi,

Any idea if this is a Ford color(primary Body color)? It looks more greenish to me. How about the trim?

Thanks!!

Dan,

I'd suspect your car was painted to resemble 'Dawn Gray, Light & Dark' as used in 1928.

Unless you know which manufacture made the paint (PPG, DuPont, Sherman-Williams etc.) a perfect match will be difficult as each mfg. uses different tints to create colors.

Interesting horn, not found in the Judging Standards, but era correct !

Dawn Gray is actually a really light green. This tan color looks more like Arabian Sand. I don't now if that's correct for a '28, but it looks good.

I’m in on the chickle/copra drab thought.......like mine.

Looks very nice. Clean lines and a good color combo.

(like chickle and copra drab) Yep, that would be my guess as well.

Really looks like Bonnie Gray and Chelsea Blue, a '29 color, to me. They're a bit more greenish in hue. Technically, neither that combination nor the drabs are correct for a '28, but its a nice looking car.

It is a nice looking A, but I am with the others, looks like Copra Drab and Chicle Drab The attached picture is of my 29 Tudor it is Bonnie Gray and Chelsea Blue.
