Restorer32 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 "Board"? Never heard of this color. Is it possible the color is "Bordeaux" as in the wine, which I assume would be a dark red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckowner Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Cachorro states that the picture is of a "similar car". It is not a model K since the 1929 K did not come with an 8 cyl and had a different hood louver pattern, it is not a 1930 CK or CF since they had a wide profile radiator. My pick is a 1930 Chrysler 66 roadster. Hubcaps appear to be Chrysler as wellRick VanOene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckowner Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Judging by the exhaust manifold, the water inlet on the head, and the front motor mounts, you definitely have a model K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F&J Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 thank you very much for your help Ckowner!! Hi, Your motor serial number on the right front side of the block, will start with a K for model K cars. It's stamped on a raised pad near the headgasket seam. Only two body colors were availiable on K roadster. One is your color, which I think was "motor car red" but not sure after all these years. The other color was "cigarette" which is a yellow with a bit of tan hues. I would think that TPCglobal in California has the color names and formulas, and could mix the paint.
