Great info, thanks. I would love to see that photo. So do you think Gus painted the colors in the above photos? Cunningham had said that John Seelinger did a restoration in 1948 in SF but the date/location doesn’t seem to add up? This SSJ is shown in a light color (light grey, white or tan) with a dark sweep panel outside Clark’s Long Island Museum in 1949. I’m trying to get an understanding of the timeline of restorations/paint changes - I think I can count around 6 paint changes.
Tan/tan > grey/grey > rolled on green? > white/green? > blue/green > grey/grey
