Default Re: Standard or Deluxe Model?

Robert,
It is a bit of throwback to the '32 model year when as a running change the grille portions of the radiator shells of commercial vehicles (other than the deluxe models and the sedan delivery, which had passenger car grilles and radiator shells) and big trucks were painted black when the cab/hood color was either Golden Orange or Vermilion Red. The effect is quite an improvement of the monochromatic body color treatment of the radiator shell/grille with the remainder of the standard commercial color offerings of that year.
