Chris Coon Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 What color should the engine be painted? It is a 6 cyl. SC model w/ a Silver Dome head. Hirsh does not have the info. Any help is appreciated.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ply33 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I suspect that it would have the same color scheme as other Chrysler products of that year. See Plymouth Engine Compartment Paint and Color for the Plymouth engine colors for that era and year. PB is the engineering code for the 1932 Plymouth so look under that.The DeSoto club probably has a list of colors they consider correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I think it should be black with a silver head. That's what Plymouths had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Coon Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 The block and Bell housing had green, but he head had no sign of anything when I got the car, I have no way to know if that was original, Any thoughts on green/silver?

Maybe there was a span there in 1932-33 where Chrysler was using green rather than black for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 More like a gray/green, I believe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
