That is one sweet car, Dave. Wanna trade for a 180 Touring sedan with factory air?

[bkazmer]

Wes, don't you want to have a tire swap in the deal to keep the blackwalls for the new car?

Be nice, I have blackwalls too.

[West Peterson]

Yes. Black sidewalls. However, at the present time, my black sidewalls were made by Photoshop. I'm trying to wear out the white as fast as I can, though.

[bkazmer]

I know some people whose parallel parking "skills" can accelerate the white wall wear quite a bit

[Dave Mitchell]

I tried blacks on my 41 160, but I was the only one who liked them, so I went back to white. Wes, do you remember the 46 2106 club sedan that I had with black wall Michelins on it? The next owner wouldn't take delivery of it without whites...

[Dave Mitchell]

West, I had the leBaron Sport out today (w/AC) and discovered that it was originally silver french gray (I think that is the color in 41).

[West Peterson]

Okay, but how about my half serious question about trading? I'd do the trade for the LeBaron, too, if you'd rather keep it a sedan for a sedan kind of deal? [img]<>/smile.gif[/img] [img]<>/cool.gif[/img]

I know that cars around today with a certain OEM color are not all identical matches, but I have found a current paint that is a very good match to the Silver French Gray on my car (mine is an old respray, so I can't comment with certainty on OE match, but it does look like the sales info from 1941).

[Dave Mitchell]

Hi West, the 120 belongs to a good friend of mine and he isn't looking for another car, rather to reduce his collection, so he isn't up for a trade. Myself, hmmm, much as I like your car, the sport brougham is one of my favorites, so I don't think I am ready to part with it yet.

[Dave Mitchell]

I would love to have the match for Silver French Gray. Thanks Brian! packard12s@hotmail.com

[bkazmer]

don't laugh at my fancy supplies -for the Silver French Grey, Plasti-kote Truck and Sport Utility no 1534 Light Smoke Metallic. I've used it to touch up door jambs, etc.

And for the lower, Duplicolor GM380 Medium Garnet Red Metallic

My caution is that I know my car is an authentically-intended repaint, but it is an older repaint. These are very good matches on this car.
