My mindset is pre-war, as in WWII, so that’s the time period to which I commented. I should have made that clear. Some great two tones showed up mid-1950s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 (edited) After the 1932 Graham 'Blue Streak' was presented in solid colors as a unified design, the industry quickly followed the lead as it was seen as modern. Two-tones with body color and black fenders became the province of commercial vehicles. This '39 Six in one or the other solid gray would have been just fine, consistent with the time period. How they arrived at this color break is beyond me. Addendum: Here is how good two-tone gray can look on a Packard of the immediate pre-war years where such two-tones were factory defined and appropriate.

I should have made that clear. Some great two tones showed up mid-1950s. I still make a prewar distinction. Two tones were »in » on many cars by the last 2-3 years prewar, not in the preceding styles. The color break though is roof to lower body, not body to fender. I agree the Graham (and Hupp) designs led the monotone look 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 The OP car, splitting the hood off that way, makes the side of the car look like a half painted fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
