It appears that someone painted the inside and outside of the body silver, and the cleaner that I used removed quite a bit of it. Were these originally painted? And if so what color? I looked on the net quite a bit today but didn't see anything relevant.


Thanks, Dave
Neither the cast iron (part of 1942 production) not the aluminum distributor bodies were finished in any way.
