29StudiePrez Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I received the following letter, can anyone shed some light on this paint color?LETTER:I was delighted to find your website with colours of cars built in the 1920s - as a result of a chance search for 'Orriford Lake'My interest in this colour is that a local bus company which I have researched and which ran in the 1920s near to where I stay (in Glasgow, Scotland) used a colour called 'Orriford Lake' and I would like to establish what this was like. I had always thought that these buses were blue, but now wonder if they were a maroon colour - I know that 'Crimson Lake' was the name of a maroon colour used by one of the main railway companies in Britain at that time. I wonder if you can throw any more light on this for me - can you, for example, describe what Orriford Lake paint was like eg was it a light or dark maroon, a brown-maroon, a purple-maroon, and so on?I would be grateful for any help which you can give me on this.George HeaneyGlasgowScotland heaneys@numero12.freeserve.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stude8 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 For general knowledge, Ditzler lists Orriford Lake Maroon for 1932 Studebakers. See attached link, read down to bottom of page for 1932 cars.
