Default Re: Color Moleskin Brown, light Mystery

Thanks for all the feedback.

I guess the mystery remains: The only color patch available is Moleskin Brown, yet not a single Model A had that color. The Moleskin Brown, Light is listed as a color for Cabriolets and Town Car Delivery.

Out of curiosity I checked the other colors available in Light and Dark: Arabian Sand, Dawn Grey and Niagara Blue. There is at least one Model A that had each of those colors. None of these colors were listed with a comma, eg, ‘Arabian Sand Light’, never ‘Arabian Sand, Light’.

If the body companies simply tried to match the color patch issued by Ford, I imagine there was some variation across the board, as others have noted. Clearly, those who put together the Paint Guide felt there may actually be a Moleskin Brown, Light out there, or they wouldn’t have left a blank in the Guide.

Sigh…
