Fossil Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Normally this color would turn me off but it looks nice on this car. Bet it rides nice too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Most guys who know me know I love Tans and Golds. Especially from the streamlined era. Beige-Tan-Golds. This one appears to need paint, granted it's original. You could leave it that way, but I wonder if seen in person if the paint would just be too tired and checked, scratched to live with. It sort of appears that way in the right rear quarter photo. I like the unusual too, although not necessarily a fan of the 1939 Mopar (and Hudson) brand of period styling.

B Jake Moran Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Do any of you Mopar experts know what differentiated a 1939 Imperial from a New Yorker? Wheelbase? Features? It clearly says Imperial on the hood but I'm not sure what that got you in 1939. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkEE Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Mechanically the Imperial, New Yorker and Saratoga are the same. The New Yorker and Saratoga had nicer upholstery and a cosmetic difference in the bars in the front grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkEE Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I’ve never seen a Saratoga in person. I have interior pieces from one that was rodded. The door panels had additional upholstered moldings, that I don’t believe the imperials had. If you look at the Fedco numbers, the weren’t many Saratogas made in 1939.

Hudsy Wudsy Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 "Desert Beige" is the color. Color stylists have a whole pallet of shades (toners) to experiment with. I like this color more than I might otherwise. I think that it has some amount of yellow in it that makes it a little luminous or somewhat gold-like.
