Guest Seadog Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I picked up a '51 Roadmaster 4 dr sedan. I am going to restore it and was trying to figure out if it is the original color. It is currently light green with a dark green top. The model is 51-72, style 51-4719, body G18802, Trim No 70, Paint No 28 BD, top ACC P. I have Googled and searched the posts here and haven't been able to find the info. I also don't know what color, kind of material, and sewing pattern for the seats. The seats are obviously redone and don't match each other (front/back) now. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 According to my Master Parts Book, code 70 interior shows as "plain grey broadcloth". Paint code 28 is for " Calumet Green", duco code 286-55917 on the upper panel. The lower body panel would be "Glenn Green", duco code 253-55922 the wheels could be the same as the lower panel, but optional was Dante Red. Sorry, I don't know how to read the other codes yet.

Guest Seadog Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Thanks. When you say upper panel, do you mean the upper part of the main body (above the chrome), or the roof? I have seen images of some with one color above the chrome strip and another below. Mine is solid light green on the body and dark green on the top. I appreciate the information.
