nzcarnerd Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 From the Antique Studebaker Revue Sept/Oct 1975 - My guess is that with the earlier cars there is no specific shade. At the bottom it says 'concluded on the next page', but I don't have that. This lot was posted on the NorCal Studebaker facebook page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeboy Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Some earlier engines were grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRA Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 The EP engine of my car was produced in february 1926, is this early or late 1926, based on production year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude_Opel Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hello all! I have early Studebaker ES President 7 passenger sedan (1926). This is unrestored project, disassembled in the 60's. Engine color is silver grey with black distributor, weaterpump, starter, generator and valve cover. I think this is orginal colour. Is this possible?

JRA Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 My car’s engine (1926 big six EP) is also light grey (maybe silver grey in the past), it seems to be original, but I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Medium gray. I can send a photo next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRA Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Is “medium grey” the same as “battleship grey”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Dave Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Color; Something you could consider Battleship Grey solid but I would rule out any metallic. Not Exactly sure When the grey started but a semi-educated guess would be late 28 or 29. Remember the old Bell Telephone green? Close to that ,and they were told to match 30 weight oil. Good luck.

commander Dave Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Correction to my post on engine color. The green would be after 28. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stude Light Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I don't recall who sent me these photos of original paint on a Big Six engine. Maybe one of the members here.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRA Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Thanks, StudeLight. This color matches exactly to the original paint of the engine in my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
