White paint features were generally for fleet vehicles so you don't see it much in early Ford cars but it was there. I've seen a Model K Ford from 1907 that was all white and I've see fleet Model T vehicles that were also white. Believe what you want but white has always been a choice although not necessarily a popular one. Ford started offering standard colors again in the late model T days but they were mostly pastel colors or earth tones with black fenders. White would generally have been a special order fleet color and mostly for commercial type vehicles.

My Pop bought a 41 tudor after he got back from Italy in 1945. It was a folkstone gray color. Used but not used up. He used that car to go back to college with and up until 1948 when he bought one of my Grandad's old cars from him. I think it was the first car he had that had a radio in it.
