1936 Buick series 40 paint colors

[M_Harrison]

Hi All,

I'm half way through my resto and a question has come up that I can't seem to find an answer to. Did all '36 Buicks have a gloss black (or special paint color) dash board, steering column, and garnish mouldings? Or were they the exterior paint colors? Could use some help from the professionals.

My 1937 Buick series 40 that is mostly original has a brown painted steering column, wood grained dash and brown firewall cover

Check out The old car manual project. It might help with your 1936 http://www.tocmp.com/brochures/Buick/1936/index.htm

Dear M Harrison:

Ask Thriller to put the link on here to the BCA judging manual, it probably will cover this point. Also, join the BCA and get to know the tech advisor for 1936's as your new best friend.

Derek, if you see this, could you post that link?

Regards, Dave Corbin

Alternatively, if you just go to the BCA web site (buickclub.org), there is a link on the left side of the page about the 6th one down below Tech Advisors.

Good luck with your '36...I'd like a '36 or '37 some day - I like the styling and they have hydraulic brakes.
