Guest Pete Woodruff Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Mark, The 90D paint code is a two-tone job, Renfrew Gray Metallic upper and Glacier Blue Metallic lower. The wheels should be Glacier Blue Metallic with a white stripe. The trim code 91 for a series 25 car calls for Tan Plush (Mohair) upholstery.

stil Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Pete,Thanks so much for this info. This is what I suspected. The car had been repainted so I was not sure about the 2-Tone. The wheels (under the current blue paint) do have 3 stripes - 2 thin and a thick in the middle.Now all I need to do is find a paint supplier that can mix this paint.Another question: Can you provide information on the steering column color?Thanks again.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pete Woodruff Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Mark, The steering column and gearshift lever should be Sandalwood Beige, the Dupont color number in 1940 was 202-52874. The instument panel radio delete plate, or radio control finish plate, plus the clock medallion and clock are paint number 246-6018. I don't have a color name for this paint.

rgshafto Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 The "D" indicates Duco paint on the fenders - more chip resistant. Color-Rite in CT specializes in reformulating these original colors. 203-393-0240 colorite@snet.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
