Default Re: 1932 Factory Colors Thread

I can't recall ever seeing a '32 with the Emperor brown colors, original or restored. The photos below are of three large period color chips (Acme Lead) of the three Emperor browns used by Ford on late '32s and on early '33s. The top and bottom chips are the light and dark versions used on late '32s and the center is the medium used on early '33s (discontinued in May, 1933).

While I believe the medium and dark color chips to be accurate representations of the original colors, I have serious reservations about the light color chip's accuracy as it seems to have a green caste to it (almost like what a light Tunis gray might look like).
