 |
|
| Hey all, trying to go all correct my '60 resto...Regarding int. items such as e-brake handle, shifter, steering column, etc. Is there a factory paint code for this beige color...or do I just take it down and try for a match? Thanks. |

If you can get your hands on a Vintage Parts catalog circa 1993, it had a comprehensive color listing regarding those interior ancillaries. Can't be positive on the 60, but here's the correct colors for earlier cars:
1949-53 Beige
1954-55 Light Beige
1956-57 Beige
1958-59 Stone Beige |

Looking in "Garwood" hes got L 471 Stone Beige on interior(deluxe) and L 87 Pearl White on inner wheel rim with the outer wheel rim a contrasting (to body)color. What color is the body? |

| Factory sticker shows L 451 Indiana Red. W/West shows a Brown/beige combo for the wheels, but I'm going with the body color on the outers like you mentioned. Thanks for the info. |

| The contrasting body colors on wheels I was talking about are close to body color but slightly different depending on the color - usually darker ( brown,blue,green ect) I'm not familiar with L 451 Garwood calls it Indian Red with the Wheel outer rim L450 Light Brown and the wheel inner L 87 Pearl White , sedan only. Good luck on your search... |
