48Buick Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 We have a two tone gray 48 Buick Super. Unfortunately the wheels are painted navy blue. We'd like to paint them red with the gray pinstriping. Anyone know what shade of red is correct?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howard Purvis Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The name of the optional color you are looking for is Dante Red. It is matched with French White pinstriping.Howard Purvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DaveCorbin Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Dear 48Buick: I have a little bad news. According to the parts book, Dante Red wheels are NOT optional for 1948. I think you will find that your paint code is 29, which says the upper is "Nickel Grey" (Duco 207-3911) and the bottom is "Cumulus Grey" (Duco 253-55066). Paint on wheels is "Cumulus Grey (Dulux B94-55066) with a stripe of "French White" (Dulux 289-53561). Dante Red is optional as a wheel color for many years including 1947 and 1949, but not 1948.(At least according to the parts book.)

Guest Howard Purvis Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Dave, You're right on the money. My Master Parts Book says exactly the same thing. But then I looked at the judge's manual. . . and reread the question.HP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
