Guest 71333 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 What color should my 1952 F1 be The serial # is F1R2EG14884 the color code on the glove box is N, and a stamp on the cab firewall is 77EGF1N200680P. I found that N stands for Vermillion (red) , but in taking the pickup apart, and stripping the paint there was no sign of red just green, even under the windshield rubber. My question is if I want to show this pickup , what color should it be, and if red is the answer how do you explain green. There seems to be some confusion on Ford truck paint codes. Some sources say that a paint code of "N" is Meadow Green. See link. Other sources say that it is Vermillion (red). This is based on information in the shop manual. Since your truck was painted Meadow Green, it is possible that the shop manual has an error in it. How to resolve this for judging I don't know. Maybe somebody with judging experience can tell you how to resolve it.http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/chipdisp...952&manuf=Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 For AACA Judging, it just has to be an authentic color which the truck could have come from the factory in originally. AACA does not check data plates to make sure that a vehicle is "numbers matching". You may choose any original 1952 Ford F1 factory color that you wish and there will be no problem with AACA Judging regarding the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hill Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Are you sure the code is N and not M - N is Vermilion and M is Meadow Green. Either way, as Matthew said, any factory color for a 1952 Ford F1 is acceptable in AACA Judging.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 My '52 F3 has the same N on the tag and has the original green paint on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flathed52 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) The subject of meadow green is very confusing from what I’ve found. I also have a 52 f1 original green color , code N. I have heard of many trucks in this year with N stamped and no traces of red. My truck is in the body shop now getting taken apart and there is no traces of red. Even inside the doors are slightly green overspray. Edited April 27, 2020 by Flathed52 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
