For me, I have spent nearly a lifetime of studying this. The Corvette and the Ford Model-A are the two most documented vintage vehicles ever produced. When the original factory prints, along with engineering notes and foreman's logs are studied, much of this is documented there. To make life easier for hobbyists, the national Model-A clubs have printed literature that offers this information to the restorer.

It was sprayed with a bituminous asphaltum-based coating. As it was handled, the soft thin tar-like coating was often scratched so Ford authorized those scratches and bare areas where riveting was done to be spot painted with Pyroxilyn during assemblage.
