papafarms Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Hi guys, Question the 40 buick paint color from bill hirsch is called buick charcoal, gray 1939-40, looks more charcoal than the battleship grey i remember on my other 40"s any help, they seemed to have a more blueish grey tint, comments please, is this the right color from hirsch? Thanks Bob
Den41Buick Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 The pre 1940's were grey. In 1941 the initial run of engines were gray as well. The remainder and majority were dante red. After 1941 the color was a blue gray with the exception of replacement engines which were black. Hope that helps.
