Default Re: Timeline of paint

Tom, It has been repainted in the past. Currently it has 63 license plates and I'm thinking that it might have been done around that time period. They painted the dash, inside firewall, garnish moldings all black. Some of which I can take masking tape and lift the black off.

Yes it is pretty much rust free, the worst is where mice chewed up all the old registrations from years past and made a nest under the rear seat only. Everywhere else no rust where you would expect to see it if there was any. That rear seat picture might have a little more blue to it from the light when it was taken. All of the floor boards are original solid and nice and straight, not warped. It had been sitting in a carport since 1980. Everybody that I show it to and tell them the stamped date seem to be stumped on the color. I saw a Vagabond Green and a Bonnie Gray at the Orange County Model A Club pancake breakfast this year, it is neither of those colors that would have been for early 1929.
